Welcome to REDdimension Wiki. Today is Sunday, April 26, 2026

Featured Articles

  • What's this whole "REDdimension" thing about, anyhow? See how it came about and why it became the home domain of our family.

  • What's in a name? Enough to fill a wiki page, apparently.

  • Since 2005, an ever-growing poker tournament has served as Jon's birthday party.

  • Jon's dream car acquired in the spring of 2012.

  • The property and house at Pete's Lane in Loughman, Florida where Jon grew up is one of love, triumph and loss.

  • The story of a beloved family pet.

  • Jon has visited a few television stations in his time; this is a comprehensive list of them all.


So far, this wiki features 273 unique articles.

HOW DO I EDIT?

Due to rampant wiki vandalism, I've locked down editing to only those with user accounts, and restricted account creation to manual rather than automated. Send Jon an email with your desired login/password and he will cheerfully set up an account for you!

Where to Start
  • Is valuable information floating around your head? Many articles have been flagged with a "tell me more" because another wiki visitor wanted to know more about a subject. Do you have that info and can add it to the wiki? Browse those articles >>
  • How are your proofreading & layout skills? Other articles have complete, or near-complete text but are lacking proper wiki-tized layout code. We'd love your help in getting those writings in shape. Browse those articles >>
