All That Glitters Isn’t Good

Here’s something you don’t see on Quackwatch every day: an article about a quack getting sent to prison for 43 years. Granted, he was convicted for plotting to kill a federal judge, a prosecutor and an IRS agent who were involved in a tax case against him (in the interest of fairness, here’s his side of the story) but it’s worth noting that these tax cases arose from all the money he was raking in from his water-nutritional supplement business, so apparently this guy was a stranger to honest behavior.
The plot to kill government officials is certainly troubling, but me being me I found myself more interested in what WaterOz was selling. Although I have only a small fraction of the chemistry knowledge this guy has, water quackery is one of my favorite areas of medical misinformation, mainly because it’s such a broad area ranging from alkaline absurdities to cluster crap to Masura Emoto’s crazy pictures. Personally I’m a big fan of the wet stuff; I don’t believe in the eight glasses a day rule, but I still try to stay hydrated with all the H2O I feel I need.

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.
