who dares?

first to explain the name: iDare3000.

i has multiple meanings: the first is a personal "I" as in "I am Dare". the second reference is to the internet and the electronic nature of myself and this blog, hence the lowercase form and close placement (think iPhone or iPod).

Dare has multiple meanings: the first is a personal nickname I acquired in high school. Dare is a play on my first name Darren (thanks Big Chan!).

the second meaning is the dictionary definition of dare as a verb and noun: verb 1 a: to challenge to perform an action especially as a proof of courage -dared him to jump- b: to confront boldly : defy -dared the anger of his family- 2: to have the courage to contend against, venture, or try dared a new interpretation of this classic role- noun 2 : imaginative or vivacious boldness (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dare)

3000 has but one reference, and that is to the hip-hop artist Andre 3000, whose creativity and style inspire me. Plus "iDare" was already taken so 3000 is more original.

So take it as it is, but interpret it how you like. I have explained the name, and later I will explain the purpose.
