Time to do some non-work

April 20, 2003 D. H. McKee

Off

Kind of a neat lull period at work this week. Easter holiday came up rather quickly, and in two weeks, I’m going somewhere tropical. Then, we’ve got the May-24 weekend. Finally, some down time. I’ve been saving up vacation time for over a year now.
Getting some painting done finally — now that the weather is getting nice (on and off) I’ve been able to prime up some more boards. I’ve found a new way to reinforce the wood by using mending plates instead of corner brackets. It’s cheaper and faster than having to use screws, and the only side-effect is a lot of loud hammering.
Going to bike around today. It’s a little cool, but I really miss doing this. Maybe I’ll go up to the trails north of KW. Bring my camera along too.

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.
