Bunker: Day 12

Day 12. I was planning on leaving the bunker to tough it out in the woods for a couple of days, and spent the better part of today trying to get a key cut for the 3" steel security door (got a friend coming in to water the plants). No one was able to cut the key properly (also something about it being difficult to re-program the retina scanner and the palm analyzer). I think it should be illegal to cut a key without proper training. This guy cuts me a key and says, "if it doesn’t work, bring it back and we’ll re-cut it." Sure sounded like a deal. I drove all the way back home, and the damn thing didn’t even fit in the lock, since it wasn’t even the right blank. I know, I know. My fault for not even looking at it beforehand. That’s why they put it in that little envelope and staple it shut — added security against irate customers.

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.
