Nice dinner last night

Had a good time last night. We hosted a dinner with some friends instead of what we usually do — go out and spend money on dinner and a night on the town. For us, it means we can have a similar fun time, without spending so much money on having someone prepare food for us. Especially good is the money saved on liquor. We got to enjoy a couple of bottles of wine, some fine quiche, a fantastic spinach and strawberry salad, and homemade apple pie. Got to give big credit to R for doing most/all of the work on this. Next time I get to do all the cooking.
This makes the second dinner we hosted this week, but it’s still a lot of fun to entertain, despite the dirty dishes. Some day, I hope to have a dishwasher for the kitchen. I still haven’t considered the renovations yet, but maybe this summer we’ll get that done.
The only downer was that I had to answer a couple of “emergency” pages by a customer who needed to know which processID the watchdog was. He couldn’t find it, and freaked out at me, like his inability to use “ps” properly translated into a problem with our product.

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.
