Adolph Coors Co. (RKY.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Canada’s Molson Inc. (MOLa.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) agreed to a merger that would create the world’s fifth largest brewer by volume in a bid to better compete with larger rivals, the companies said on Thursday.
The agreement is structured as a share exchange were Molson shareholders can either convert their stock to shares in the new company or receive exchangeable shares on a tax deferred basis, the companies said.
But the deal may be threatened by an up to $4 billion bid for the Canadian brewer from former Molson Deputy Chairman Ian Molson, the Wall Street Journal reported. Ian Molson, who has been feuding with his cousin, company Chairman Eric Molson, quit the company in June.

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.
