We've decided to begin handing out a new daily award in honor of our good friend Michael Phelps. You know, the REAL Michael Phelps (the CollegeKidApp programmer, not the guy who was in the Olympics or something like that). This new award will be called the CollegeKidApp.com Gold Medalist of the Day and it's handed out to the person who goes above and beyond the call of duty to do something that would make Michael Phelps proud. Be it swimming fast, saving a kitten from a burning house, curing cancer, or eating an entire box of cereal in one sitting. Whatever it is, it needs to be outstanding if Michael Phelps is going to give it his gold seal of approval.
Today, I've been graciously awarded the first ever Michael Phelps Gold Medal of the Day for resurrecting an iPod Touch from the dead. While Mike has stressed often that we wouldn't have gotten into this whole mess had I not bricked the device in the first place, it's more important to note that I snapped victory from the jaws of a broken iPod defeat, much like Michael Phelps would. For this courageous action, I am now deserving of today's Gold Medal award.Have something to say about this post? Click here to join the conversation.
