This website is meant to be a creative hub, a place where I can express myself without having to confine myself to the likes of a private diary. In this new technological age, blog-type sites are on the rise, and why go against that, right? However, this website is (or will be) more than just a place to put my daily ranting and political diatribe. It is also a website where I will put any creative works I find time to upload or write down. It is also a place where I will simply just talk about myself and what is happening in my life. Yes, the boring, who-cares, why do you waste your energy type of discussion.

Why a blog-type setup? Simply because I find it works best for me, but also partially because it is the trend. It is the end-product of a lot of soul searching. This website had been almost 11 years in the making. Starting from a Geocities free account to what you are seeing now, it has gone through several short-lived iterations. Over those years, I never really found what I was looking for and now, with this (x version) of the website, I think I have finally got it. So, here it finally is, in instant gratification!

So, what is with the name? The explanation is simple enough. Dymersion is the combination of a previous Intenet alias, “Dymero,” and the English word “immersion.” Dymersion is all about me taking a dive (so to speak) into the daily world and bringing up from the depths my analysis of that world. It’s also about you doing the same thing; except in your case, you should be forming your own analysis, whether similar or different to my own.

I hope you will enjoy Dymersion for what it is. I am not expecting anybody to agree with what I say. What I do expect, however, is courtesy. I leave the commenting relatively open to anybody in the hopes that I may start a discussion on a topic. Attacks against myself or other commenters will not be tolerated, and will be deleted. With that said, thank you for choosing Dymersion, and enjoy your stay!

Want to comment on an issue that I talk about, make suggestions for the site, or have questions? Feel free to email me at comments {at} dymersion {dot} com, with all the proper substitutions. Please do not email me spam, advertisements, or other generally unproductive content, or your emails will be filtered, and I will not bother looking at any possible future legitimate emails from the address. I do prefer you use the commenting system for discussion related to an entry, but I will accept emails if you do not wish to have your comment made public (be sure to indicate this in your email). Otherwise, happy emailing!

Many Thanks To…
I’d like to thank the people who have made this site possible. Without their efforts, this site might not exist. Without further ado…

Invisionize: For providing the server to host this site. Invisionize is a popular resource website for Invision Power Board. Allowing me access to this server has provided me with abilities I might not have had on a traditional host.

DomainSite: The registrar of my domains. DomainSite is an awesome registrar, and I’ve never had any problems with them. Highly recommended.

WordPress by WordPress: Provides the software I use for the blog and other areas of my website. Movable Type is easy to use, skin, and has a bunch of useful plugins. It is also relatively simple to use it as a content management system for your whole site.

Creative Commons: For their progressive efforts in the area of copyleft. I could create my own terms of service for Dymersion, but why, when they have good stuff already?

Adam “the Aent” Skobel: Thanks for listening to my whining whenever something doesn’t work. Aent is also a fellow admin at Invisionize.

LiquidX: This dude single handedly created the site’s design. He added his own twist to what was once a pretty crappy piece of work done by me.

My parents: Thanks for inspiring my throughout life, and especially my dad for getting me into computers, albeit in a slightly different area of expertise than his own.
