In the beginning

Friday, December 19th, 2008

This came to me last night while I was trying to document the history of Ductape. Its still pretty rough and I don’t think that I’m much of a creative writer, so I welcome comments and suggestions.

In the beginning
In the beginning there was the void, and into the void stepped the hacker, for a void is empty and requires stuff to built. The void was dark and the hacker stumbled and stubbed his toe, so he shouted “Let there be light” and the first LED flickered into existence. The hacker saw that it was good but was annoyed that the LED lay on the floor and would not stick to the walls or ceiling. So the hacker shouted, “Let there be Duct tape” and it was so. The hacker looked at the tape and saw that it was good, for it had a light side, a dark side and could be used to hold the universe together. With the tape, the hacker stuck clusters of LEDs to the walls and ceiling. These would be the stars and constellations that would light his work area as he hacked away into the night. The hacker stepped back and saw that this was good, for he had created the first hackerspace, and so he rested. Thus ended Day 0.
