What is The WhimWham?
At various times, it’s been a movie blog, a snark/gossip blog, a “tales of the bizarre” blog, a boring blog and an “anything goes” blog. At the moment it seems to be a blog detailing life’s adventures.
But in all its various incarnations, the one constant of this blog has been its author: me, Dion C. Detterer.
I’m a 30 year old Computer Science student living in the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney, Australia. I have a passion for music — a recurring theme here — particularly progressive rock, art rock, hard rock, pop/rock and the dreaded AOR in general. (Yes, I love all kinds of music… if it’s rock.) I also love film, and I’ve been known to be a Star Wars fan occasionally.
(You can read my companion blog, Dion at the Flicks, to see just how appalling my taste in film is.)
