There’s a new media king, only he isn’t on the radio or in the movies. His name? Master Chief. His role: Interstellar soldier and star of “Halo 2,” one of the most anticipated video games ever.
Across the nation, fans lined up for hours at some 7,000 planned “midnight madness” events Tuesday to get first crack at the $50 sequel from Microsoft Corp.
Miguel Chavez, a 36-year-old father of two boys, waited about 10 hours at a Toys “R” Us in New York City’s Times Square to buy his copy of the game. He took along an Xbox console and a projection system so they could play the original “Halo: Combat Evolved” to pass the time.

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.
