Security Lacking at Major Canada Power Plants

Security at two of Canada’s most important electricity generating plants is so lax that terrorists would have no trouble at all getting in, according to a television report.
A team from the French-language RDI channel wandered around the Manic-5 and Robert Bourrassa hyrdo-electric plants in the remote James Bay area of French-speaking Quebec without seeing a single security guard.
The plants, linked to a series of giant dams, supply power to Quebec and the north-eastern United States.
In a special report, which was aired on Tuesday night, the RDI team drove in an unmarked van to the center of the Robert Bourassa generating station. They then passed through an unlocked door and made their way to the control panels without once being challenged.

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.
