Site for sore eyes

Off

Just touching up my site a bit. Cleaning out the garbage, rearranging the gifs and pngs, etc. I embedded a new rss feed into my radio site since it turns out the EFF actually has syndicated their news a little bit. System still looks a little thrown-together from the outside, but when I win the lottery, this will be the seventh thing I take care of.

Last night was kind of fun. Had some friends over for lasagna and martinis. Did a little of “that stuff we were going to take care of” and talked for a while. Pretty subdued night overall. Today, R and C (of C+J fame) are up in Toronto looking for frocks or something. That gives me nothing to do but all the cewl stuff I normally can’t do in a relationship… of course, right now I can’t think of anything to do. Think I’ll head out to the coffee shop or the Future Shop (remember the good old days when you could also go to the Pop Shoppe?).

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.
