Keeping Radio Online

Cripes! Seven listeners on Radio Zuckervati recently. Wha-oh! That’s the most successful I’ve ever been, and it’s getting close to my bandwidth limit. I almost have a case for getting some advertising on my site. Seems there’s still a need for internet radio if even I’m getting hits.
Playing a tribute to SomaFM right now. I ripped a couple of streams from Groove Salad and Secret Agent last year, but couldn’t do much with them since SomaFM (wisely) integrated their station ID into the songs. It’s annoying, but it keeps people from constantly trying to rip streams from your site. I’m glad they did it, and I’m playing it back now, so that we can remember how great a station they were. I hope they return.

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.
