Frakkin’ Toasters

I’m looking at getting a new toaster sometime. Mine just leaves a big toast-sized burn mark on both sides of the toast.

The toaster has a Centurion’s face on its side complete with a red LED light that moves side-to-side, just like a Centurion’s eye. It also has two different plates on the slots now: one burning the Cylon image, the other burning the phrase “FRAK OFF.” I like to think that the hostility is directed at the Darth Vader toaster. It makes the toast extra crunchy.
Oddly enough, this new Cylon toaster is supposedly produced for the San Diego Comic-Con and only 2000 units are available, yet you won’t be able to buy it at Comic-Con (though it will make appearances at the Con as a display). If you want one, you have to purchase it at the NBC-Universal online store and they’ll ship it to you in September. Be aware, though, that this kind of BSG goodness will set you back $90. If you do choose to get it, I hope you’d still have money left to buy the Complete Series Bluray.

Frakkin’ Toasters, They’re Everywhere

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.
