More mad cow disease in Alberta

There is another confirmed case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in Alberta.
But there is a key difference in the latest case.
This time, the cow was under seven years old, which means it was born after the 1997 ruminant-to-ruminant feed ban designed to prevent the spread of mad cow disease.
Officials say contaminated feed is the likely source for the infection.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says that no part of the animal entered the human food or animal feed systems and there is no risk to the public.

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.
