Hello World. Meet Mr. Dibster

This is the last post on this blog. Everything has been migrated over to a new site: http://misterdibster.com. and I hope you will go over to check it out.

For a little bit more on this, read on.

--------------

Many years ago, I had a personal site known as dibster.net. Not only was it a portfolio site, it was also a sandbox for my experiments and it was also a brain dump for my thoughts. However, after some years, I got caught up with design school, FIVEFOOTWAY, FARM and tragically,'Dibster' was largely ignored.

I've been thinking about bringing back Dibster as an online personal identity for a while now and it is perhaps simply a coincidence that I just turned 26 but it strangely feels like some sort of a quarter-life identity crisis. And so, I thought that as a birthday gift to myself, I will answer that nagging thought inside my head about Dibster and bring him back to existence.

This blog has chronicled much of my recent life and it's been a good thing to have it around. However, as a space for experimentation , a portfolio and a blog rolled into one, Blogger is not the platform to do it. I need my own domain and my own engine to do it and that explains the new site.

While I would have loved to get back Dibster.net, the domain name had already been bought up and I am settling for something else close enough - MisterDibster.com.

Reviving Dibster is not about deleting the past and starting afresh but rather, building upon the experiences of the past- a natural progression and evolution of self. With that, I will be exporting all the content from this blog and importing it over to the new site.

So there you have the story. To read more about how the story of Mr. Dibster continues from here, do visit http://misterdibster.com.

Once again,hello world! Mr. Dibster is back.
