New Netbook

March 16, 2010 D. H. McKee

Bought this schway new Toshiba NB305 netbook. But only on the condition that I write 200 pages of a new novel in the next 12 months. Seems doable.
Oh yeah, and Fuck You, Windows 7 Starter Edition for disabling the most basic functionality, such as changing the fucking desktop background! Bunch of lousy fuckers!
Note: Changed the desktop background without Microsoft’s help. Googled a solution, but it required installing a 3rd party app.

Windows? Good grief.
I thought the point of netbooks was to run Linux or OpenBSD?

I’m giving it two weeks to shape up, otherwise I’m wiping it clean.

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.
