Kinsey

Saw “Kinsey” today. Interesting story about the guy who educated the world about sex. Good movie, although this seemed a lot like many other films about a big artist/scientist who struggled through hardships and funding problems to find a way to get his art/research known to the people. À la “Beautiful Mind”, but without all the cool insanity stuff, and Ed Harris wasn’t in this film. In fact, this seemed like the ideal film for Ed Harris, or perhaps Sam Neill.
Thank Jebus for this man. Sounds like he had the hardest time getting this stuff out to people who really needed it. You know, the “does masturbating give you cancer?” people. While maybe not as important as the discovery of insulin, or caring for members of the Chinese army during WWII, Kinsey’s work for the enlightenment of the human animal was nonetheless a big contribution to science and sexual free-thinkers everywhere.

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.
