Darwinian Construction

Getting the car serviced today. The Nissan lady guilted me into getting an oil change. I was going in for a brake inspection, just to keep things in shape for this weekend. Going whitewater rafting, and have to drive a ways to get there. But Nissan had one look at my previous history, and suggested that a year between oil changes was quite enough, thank you very much. So I’m getting new oil too. Wait until they see the snow tires.
Did a little electrical work on the garage last night, during the thunderstorm. I call it Extreme Construction … or maybe Darwinian Construction — they should make a TV show out of it. More than likely, it’s already been done. I figure any world which gives you a TV show of hobos duking it out has probably already done the whole extreme construction thing. Anyway, the garage/studio now has an external electrical plug for the pond and the garden lights. So I’ve got that and a floor, and one wall framed. Not too shabby. Just need to get the rest of it done. As long as the money holds out, I’m golden.

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.
