The Dyson Sphere

Welcome, finally, to The Dyson Sphere.

It's pretty silly now, thinking that just over a week ago I decided that a good way to improve my lifestyle was to have fresh locale for my blogging and whatnot. Yet I did it anyway, and frankly it wasn't easy coming up with a name. 'The Dyson Sphere' was just one of many suggestions in the end, but it was one that really jumped out at me.

I should probably start by how it's fitting at all. I've been on the interwebs for a while, and when you start on IRC like I did you get attached to a handle pretty fast. 'Dyson', which has become as commonly used for me as my own name, was picked out at random from two locations. First, it was stolen from the name of a family friend, second, it was close to the name 'Dysan', which was sitting on a diskette box on the desk. It's a name that sounds more respectable than 'NinjahunterX334' and it's quick and easy to say or write, so I've stuck with it almost everywhere (Except at UNSpacy, a Macross-based RPG - Macross Plus having an 'Isamu Dyson' in its cast).

A Dyson Sphere now, is a little more complex. The basic idea is creating a massive sphere around the sun, and using solar panels to collect all the energy at once. It's a big Sci-Fi thing and I know they had it on Star Trek: TNG once (The episode where Scotty returned). That's what you could think of this blog as. It's going to try to collect everything I think up all at once.

Isn't that fitting? I've come up with more bad excuses for the name, but it doesn't matter because I like it and it's already made.

Hopefully I'll remember to update here more often, and I'll try to put together something interesting for people to read about. I think that of all things, this first week is going to be the toughest for making this site what I want it to be. Wish me luck and stick around!
