(The 2D site about my 3D virtual world)
Impact is my personal virtual-reality space. It currently lives on a local instance of an OpenSim server, so you can't visit for now. This VR space will probably always run off my home system (hopefully a publicly-accessible home server soon) but never support more than half-a-dozen-or-so simultaneous visitors, both because I never intend getting that sort of upstream bandwidth from my home and also because crowds (even virtual crowds) give me panic attacks (enochlophobia). It is a hobby, not intended to be a commercial proposition any more than this web site is.
The central pinnacle is intended to always be my private space accessible only to myself and invited guests. The surrounding crater-rim will be more open to the public.
In the unlikely event that you want to support Impact financially, buy a T-shirt. Or just buy one anyway because they are funny ;-D
Impact is presented here as a mixed-media story by way of introducing the backstory of my virtual world.
Out-of-story comments are under the pop-notes icon! 
These comments are usually about technical details of the creation of the world. Mouse-over the icon to see the pop-up notes - if they don't show, your browser sux: I'm just using the standard "title=" image attribute here!
Many of the images are actually twice the size displayed with the text - click on them to open a new window/tab with full size.
WARNING: NON-SERIAL UPDATES - I will be slipping extra parts of the story in wherever they fit, not necessarily the at the end-so-far, and re-arranging and re-writing stuff to suit as I go. Dates, order-of-events and details of already recorded events may change without notice ;-D. Best way to deal with this is to browse through looking for new images, since almost all parts of the story are based around annotated in-world screenshots.
FINAL WARNING: This site looks crap in IE - get a proper web browser! ;-) -- namely one that respects the image alignment tags that have been around since last century!!
