Can AOL Ever be EhOL?

Despite the obvious closeness of the two countries, the US and Canada have some big differences.

For example, here in Edmonton, let’s check out the local TV news on cable channel KTLA, where hockey is often the last item on the sportscast; right after women’s college diving and WWE highlights. Likewise, north of the 49th, we think Karl “the Mailman” Malone was the Canada Post official that Prime Minister Martin just canned. Here hockey rules but in the US, basketball is far more important.

Now let’s put some hi-tech spin on this.

Even with a name like AOL Canada Inc. we hosers still believe the company is AMERICA Online. Officially, AOL Canada is a strategic alliance between America Online, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Time Warner, and RBC Royal Bank, the personal and commercial banking division of RBC Financial Group.

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.
