High security in the gifted city

Was up in T.O. today and saw the most amazing sky. All around Toronto, the sky was clear and sunny (no snow on the roads), but near the horizon, on all sides was this ominous wall of black churning clouds. When I left around 4:30pm, I was heading straight towards this ever-climbing wall of storm. Like I was leaving the eye of the hurricane. The wall finally hit around Milton, and from that point on, there was ice, snow, wind, and more than a dozen cars and trucks scattered about the road. Apparently, Kitchener got about 20-30cm of snow during the day.

I was up at a high-security hosting site to look at a couple of servers. This place had reinforced booths, automatic revolving security doors, and biometric scanners. Note to self: bring a sweater, a small camping stool, and a toolbox. They don’t give you much down there, just access to your rack.

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.
