prank@WSU Nov 5 awesome

"So far I've received emails from 3 news reporters, 1 job offer at Google, one from someone in Lighty, one from an angry "IT" guy, and hundreds from fans. All in all a good day. Now just to hope my real goal, students making this university a better place, will be achieved."

I admire this guy because

1. Awesome technical skills (IT actually had to pull the hardware to shut this thing off before his auto-off)
2. Whitehat (he included an auto-off at 5:01 pm and an uninstall script, with instructions on his website)
3. V for Vendetta is awesome (yes, I celebrate Guy Fawkes day by watching it)
4. He knows how to cover his tracks (hasn't been identified yet)
5. Google offered him a job without knowing his identity
6. He wants to improve his campus (yeah, I was in student government when I was in college... can you tell?)

I mean... isn't that enough? Dude.
