Long day in Tronna

Off

Had to go to Toronto today to do some business work. To get ahead of traffic, I left about 6am, picked up a co-worker and headed out on the 401. Three hours later, we stumbled into the customer’s site, hungry, cold, and savage. The weather really caused some problems for those who normally commute on that corridor. We passed probably 20 accident sites, most as a result of excess speeding.

Once we got there, my co-worker returned home, since he missed his meeting, and I sent 8 hours installing and configuring FreeBSD servers. As a bit of a joke, the customer gave me only one monitor, one keyboard, and two power cables (and no IP addresses, for that matter), so the installation took much longer than it needed to.

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.
