“mylo” Could Be Your High

Sony has a definite knack for making ultra-cool looking gadgets, and the new mylo “personal communicator” (despite the annoying all-lower-case spelling of the model name) is yet another example of the company’s high-tech design prowess.
As part of its “communication and entertainment” raison dâ..être, the mylo lets users send and receive instant messages, browse the Internet, listen to music, send e-mails, and view photos concurrently. (Yet, it neither slices nor dices, says Ron Popeil…) The device features a 2.4-inch color LCD and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that’s said to be ideal for comfortable and quick thumb typing. Three free instant messaging services are embedded in the unit (and just waiting for your thumbs to do the talking): Google Talk, Skype, and Yahoo! Messenger. No initial computer setup or monthly service contracts are required.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
