Big Plants and Blog Things

Personally, I think I’m in a journalistic lull, here. I was working a bit on my site (fixed up the search engine to search zuckervati.com again), and I was going over some of my old postings (i.e. from when I wasn’t in a relationship. There were more of them, and they had a lot more content than these ones do. Course, many of them were typically useless blog entries (talking about what food I was eating and what books I was reading then — like you care what I was eating and reading). But I did enjoy seeing some of the old pictures (and even then, some of the pics were embarrassing in retrospect).
I am, of course trying to maintain this site and the MissingLinks page, so technically I’m posting more than I used to, but there seems to be distinctly less of me in these posts.
Incidentally, I’m rethinking the name of Zuckervati:MissingLinks. What was I thinking there? Sure, it’s a cute name, but no one will ever find MissingLinks with a search engine…. Most of the domain combinations of “missing” and “links” have been taken, too. And Register.com keeps suggesting some weird things, like “ape-manlinksonline.com” and that kind of crap.
So I’m putting in two pics today, because I noticed how big this hanging plant in my front room was getting. Perhaps this will get me going on the whole blog train again.

Pretty big plant, no? It’s tasted human blood; now there’s no stopping it.

This is me as I existed on this Sunday Jan. 26, 2003.

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.
