Cheap plastic chairs

Really warm today, and very windy. I was worried that all my cheap, plastic chairs were going to blow right off the balcony. Oh, and I got this very cool little barbecue from the Home Despot. It’s a Broil King 2400 propane unit, with no side burners or fancy attachments — only one grill too. Not too big, not too expensive…. The starter doesn’t work; it’s missing the wire that goes to the burner. I’m not sure what to do — on the one hand, those starters never work for very long … but I did just buy it, and those two extra screws I got barely compensate for the lack of a starter.
Ah barbecued food. There’s nothing like it. A little olive oil, two slices of toasted rye, some garlic powder, a whole mess of Gibbs Mo’ Hotter Bottled Hell, and you’ve got one fine veggie burger. Top it off with a cold bottle of Kawartha Lakes, a sunset and a warm wind — you’ve got magic.

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.
