Dann's Bio
Note: The following was pulled off my old Far2Cool bio page, so some outdated material might have slipped through.

BIOS - Dann Thombs

Name: My name is Dann Thombs. I usually just stick to 'Dann' as a handle, since I've never really given to much thought to it, nor been able to keep one. 'The man' is sometimes added by second or third parties, but I don't want to be that arrogant or egotistical, to add it myself.

Real History: I turned 21 in late July and recently finished my senior year of College; majoring in ISS (computer stuff). I am now working on my master also in ISS and hope to get a teaching certificate in the future for a career in education. As for working, I'm currently employed part time by DSCWebSolutions doing web design.

Fake History: I started out way back when the web was young with a portion of a page linked to by an internal link. Fortuanetly I conviced my dad to have my own .html document, but it still looked pretty sad. I then moved to the free ISP provided page; but then my last name got registered as a domain, and I put up another sad page. Then I got the usual Geocities and Tripod pages, which began my Gaming related webmastering experience. (Note: These may or maynot still be up) Bumbling along trying to be noticed, I saw a logo contest for a little geocities page called The Daily Death and figured 'why not?',(Note: This page is now the RIYF league which in turn is not active anymore) so I entered. Following that I made some simple designs and was asked to join. I was there from Early/Mid December 1997. Then Far2Cool offered to let me work in this page, and it sounded cool, and I was there for a good while. Then the <10 meg of text files and small images hit the 1 gig/month limit due to large amounts of hits, and had to go down. During the Far2Cool time period and a bit after I co-ran the RIYF league, which was a clan where players of Half-life could band together and have organized matches. Unfortunately things didn't work out, but we got some cool site designs. In addition to Decemberized, DCJProductions.com also points to this site and is the home for our movies and pretty much anything we create. I also have Goshzilla.com which has reviews of b-movies, and music. Some other stuff too, but it's far and few between. Recently on my trip to battlebots, I created a site for our bot at Clambot.com which has some pictures and stuff.

Real Life: I do get out once in a while, in fact I even try to limit my computer time. Failing or not, I like to spend time at a private beach near my house (avg water temp: 50-60 F, it feels warm to New Englanders under 30), and in antique shops. My music tastes have changed many times and are currently in Industrial/Techno/anything that has a good tune or beat. Artists include: 311, Tool, Rammstein, Metallica, KMFDM, NIN, Gravity Kills, Rage Against the Machine, Wu-Tang, DMX, Korn, Sevendust, Slipknot and Fear Factory. I've gotten into movie making a little more seriously (even if we don't take ourselves seriously) than in past years and you can see most of our work on this page.

Fake Life: When I am wasting time spending time on the computer, I work an various Flash creations, mainly to express my strange mind. (Visit the toons page). I don't play games too much, but Quake2, with Plug-in models and the Eraser bot was a hit, and Quake had many hours burned into it. As for old school games, when I didn't have to hear obscienities at every turn, from the games and the gamers, I enjoyed Captain Comic, Keen ( I registered that ), every Epic game and every apogee game. Rott was and still is my favortite First Person Shooter.

©1980-Y2K by Dann Thombs and Decemberized.com. Actually I don`t have it copyrighted, I have these imaginary lawyers guys who are all like "yo", he owns this stuff, so like don`t go taking it, or they lawyers will get all wu-tang on you, and then the voice dubbings will be all messed up and no one likes that. Um..I like made the design and I`m going to plug my site now, so go here and view the madness that ensues. There`s like some weird cartoons and some irc stats and logs. The logs are pretty funny because people act so stupid while they`re online, and never realize that it`s all being recorded and then posted on my website. Like one time this canadian got drunk and couldn`t even spell right. Like worse than normal, and it was just so funny but I don`t want to promote alcohol or anything, cause that makes you weird and stuff. Oh yeah, I showed this dude a picture of bostonchick from qcon, and he like kicked me out of the chat channel, but I guess he had a right, she was mad nasty annnnd she was drinking beer, so you see what that does to you. Oh and another time we were thinking of names for half-life 2, and I said Half-life: Won authorization failed, and I felt proud of me cause people liked it cause it`s like so true and stuff. But I haven`t had a problem with WON yet, which is good, since I don`t want to be blocked from multiplayer games because someone else did`t want to shell out the $50 to buy the game. That would be totally bad. But I have heard about people not being able to get one because their WON number got taken But maybe they`re lying, but they try to get mine, and I`m like "no way dude" but they keep trying and ask why not and I have to put my foot down and say "I can`t" and stuff, but cie la swedish and they say. Silly swedish. Oh and channel #half-life is evil so like don`t go there, cause the people are bad, and ban people for any reason, so go to #valve on the undernet cause I`m there, and just say "hey dann" and I`ll say "hey there" or "sup" or something but you`ll want to make sure I`m there first cause if I`m not I won`t be able to say anything, but I think you`re smart and will be able to figure it out and stuff. Hmmm, guess that`s it, bye....
