Setting things in stone

Finally got a couple of dry days to work on the driveway. I’m no mason, but this concrete work’s pretty fun once you get into it. I’m really no good at this, but maybe I can fix it in the mix, so to speak. When I moved in, there were these loose chunks of the side barrier that needed repairing. The previous owner had the downspout from the garage run right into the barrier, so it began to crumble. There were some sizeable chunks missing, so I’ve been trying to replace them on sunny days. I think I’ll end up replacing the whole thing next year, but in the meantime, I’m trying to patch things up.

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.
