drmike’s trip to London

A sort of variant on the vacation journal. This one is “How I spent my summer vaction in London because Steorn’s prototype didn’t work, and probably never will”.
Steorn Forum Representative Final Report

I am certain Steorn really believed I would see something that
resembled their claim. They spent a lot of money setting up this demo
and some 2000 pounds sending me over and putting me up. There are
much cheaper ways to pull a con.
If it was a hoax, the whole upstairs would not exist, nor would Sean
have taken the time to go through all the details of how he thinks it
all works. I can not describe any of those details without breaking
the NDA, so it puts me in a fairly strange position. The flaws in the
thought process are clear to me, but Steorn considers these details
propriatary information.
My conclusion after going through all this is that Steorn is neither
hoax nor scam. It is delusion. The reason it seems surreal is
because it is surreal – we are the real part of someone elses
imagination.

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.
