Boring Meeting

February 7, 2003 D. H. McKee

Off

Spent two hours today in some boring WSAD training class. Luckily, there was in installation of RoboCode on the training machine beside me. If you’re not familiar, this is a sample program we use when working with our code-analysis software. To keep people interested in code-analysis software, this RoboCode program is actually an AI simulation/tank game, where these tanks with different “personalities” fight to the death. I must have gone 10 rounds in this game before the class was over. Spinbot (a robot that spins and shoots when it sees other robots), Crazy (a completely random robot), and MyFirstRobot (with rudimentary AI) were the top contenders in the series.

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.
