For
the longest time, I was trying to decide what the purpose
of Immerse was. What was my ultimate goal? What was my mission?
There was a time when I spent countless hours visiting the
best design sites, signing guest books, exchanging links,
examining my stats, pouring over my referrer logs - I wanted
to become "popular". I wanted to make my mark on
the seemingly vast entity we have come to know as the web.
After a while I became so obsessed with who was visiting my
site and why, that I lost track of what I was really trying
to do in the first place.
And
then for the first time, it
happened.
Some people would call it an Epiphany. I wasn't exactly sure
what it was. What I do know is that it totally opened my eyes.
You
see, I realized that Immerse is about everything. I
also realized that Immerse isn't about anything.
It's whatever I want it to be. Immerse is merely a
digital representation of myself - a retrospect introspect
of my life. My own personal storage space if you will.
Perception
is a funny thing you know? We often have the power of controlling
what we want others to see. Especially on the web. But not
here. What you see is what you get. No smoke. No mirrors.
Just the plain and simple truth.
Don't
get me wrong - Immerse is mainly for me. But to tell you the
truth I couldn't have done it with out You. There have been
so many people and places on the web that have inspired me.
For that I am forever grateful...
Oh,
and one more thing: "I'd like to thank the Academy..."
