Geek Bridge

Finished up Kurt Vonnegut’s Galápagos tonight. Great book, and told in a really interesting and intrusive way, reminiscent of J.M. Barrie. I especially liked the way he used an asterisk to denote who was just about to die. Heh, it’s like, "that *minivan driver who cut me off today." I’ve been meaning to read more Vonnegut ever since my brother got obsessed with him some years back. Maybe that’s why I got turned off of him in the first place…
I was just thinking about last night, hanging out in the computer room with my friend, working on his computer while he was looking up anime-releated stuff on the internet. Reminds me of when I was back in high school (I was the bridge between between the nerds and the cool people — sort of the "Geek Ambassador"). In between finding drivers for the 3D video card, and Gatchaman soundtrack downloads, I felt a brief, but tangible wave of nostalgia. Me, I can’t stand G-Force anymore (I mean it was kinda cool when I was six, but I’m all grown up now), but for some people, it’s still that driving force (heh heh).

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.
