The Eve of A New Beginning

First launching players into the deepest folds of outer space in 2003, Eve Online has captivated the imagination of tens of thousands of fans around the world. Attracted by the sophisticated gameplay and highly-detailed graphics, and set against the backdrop of deep space, players from around the globe vie to compete in battles that will determine the fate of the universe. The game, which has been perpetually played out on a single shard or instance for the last several years, is in fact creating its own history, which is continually canonized in EON, the official EVE Online print magazine.

While a growing number of gamers join the fray to conquer mega-space stations, EVE Online has been quietly conquering its own records. At the dawn of 2006, EVEâ..s subscription base closed-in on the one hundred thousand mark, and just recently the game peaked with over 23,000 concurrent users. Amazing, but not surprising to the EVE Online team, based in Reykjavik, Iceland, who have seen this record surpassed weekly since the end of 2005.

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.
