Good mood, good weather, good cycling

I’m in a pretty good mood this morning, despite being tired (the tired aspect is understandable – I’m always staying up late). Played some Neverwinter Nights last night. I’m part way through chapter 3, and starting to realize just how wimpy my little sorcerer is. Glad I’ve got some hired fodder to use as a human shield. I’m beginning to see the obsession some people have with these games, these MUDs. I’m especially beginning to see the interest people have in these massively multiplayer online RPGs (MMORPG) like Everquest and Ultima Online. I actually applied to be a beta tester for StarWars Galaxies, but they limited the beta to, like, 150 people. These were the uber-geeks who posted on the news groups, and bragged about their 2GHz P4s with 128Mb GeForce4 Ti video cards.
Still, I blame the great weather for my mood. I went out cycling twice this weekend, and am probably going out tonight, after work. Until the weather changes, I’m going to be biking as much as I can to get some good exercise in, and learn more about this crazy KW place I live in. So much of this city is hidden from cars, and only really interesting when you slow down to a walking pace. I drive too much, I think.

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.
