A Monday Meeting

January 31, 2005 D. H. McKee

Off

I’m sitting in a meeting/conference call with a new European ISP, discussing technical requirements, deadlines, costs, and marketing information. This is actually much more fun than the crap I was handling (trying to, anyway) on the weekend. These guys are professionals — they know what they want, have a plan in mind, and a timeline in which to do it. They trust our knowledge and our product. They are interested only in getting this project up and running — no details are necessary for them at this point, and they have the capacity to address problems (especially technical problems) by themselves when they roll out.

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.
