Thanks for the warm wishes!
The job....okay, I'll tell you again. I do computer and cell phone forensics. Basically, it's this - you're a bad guy, you get arrested, the good guys seize your digital storage media - computers, cell phones, thumb drives, media, etc and I extract the data from the devices to include recovering deleted files and password cracking. It's super fun most days - allows me to travel the world and learn something new everyday. I also teach these techniques internationally. The reason everyone remembers this is because in an old post, I mentioned that I get paid to look at a lot of porn - bad guys really like their porn!
The contest - a few months back, April or so, BMW sent me a pretty cool Z4 print. I have no use for it and want to give it away. The contest is to tell me and the members, the coolest gift you ever gave someone. Who ever has the best story wins the print. Because the old site went down, I was never able to conclude the contest, and give away the print. I'm not sure if we are able to create polls on this site, haven't had enough time to really browse around much lately as I'm traveling for the next 4-6 weeks. I want to start the contest again and let the members chose the winner. I hope to start it up again next week, so give me a few days and I'll announce the contest.
The purpose of telling your story is of course to warm the hearts of others. I really like doing nice things for others and this is my way of repaying someone who has done a kind act. I know - kinda cheesy, but it's my print right now, so I make the rules!
