Papa’s Got a Brand-New Bag

Yes, after fumbling around in Moncton with that old Targus bag, I figured it was time to get something rad and hip — something that would appeal to the kids, and would also carry around all my 12″ vinyl (like I have any of that yet). So I picked up this cewl new Samsonite courier bag, one that doesn’t appear on their website yet, it’s soooo high tech.

The Samsonite ‘Tech Series’ is a new line of computer bags aimed squarely at the younger crowd, the active ‘techie’, or the business person who doesn’t want to haul around a 20 lb leather bag. This bag offers the user the abiity (sic) to convert it from shoulder bag to backpack in seconds, and also offers a sturdy handle for those times when you don’t want to shoulder it. The 840-denier nylon gives the bag it’s durability and lightweight. The colouring is distinctly ‘High Tech’ yet business-like, using mainly black with grey accents and some reflective piping on the main flap. Double rivets and internal reinforcements have been added to all the weight-bearing points to prevent any catstropic failure, especially when you’re running across a busy street to catch your bus.

Yes, I’m just that cool. Soon, I’ll have to get a new laptop just so I’ll have something worthy of putting in my new bag.

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.
