Apple Computer, which has sold more than 42.2 million iPod players since October 2001, released software that lets parents set the volume on the music devices to protect their children’s hearing.
The software is available now as a free download, Apple said. The iPod is the world’s best-selling personal music player.
Apple is offering the software two months after Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) asked the National Institutes of Health to investigate possible hearing problems associated with the music players. Most can produce sounds at as many as 120 decibels, as loud as an ambulance siren, and prolonged exposure to 90 decibels may cause some hearing loss, according to the Mayo Clinic’s Web site.

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.
