Canada keeps lid on spam

The Americans remain the kings of spam with the Chinese close behind, say security experts at Sophos, but Canada continues to be conspicuous by its absence from the ranks of top spamming countries.
Sophos’ list of the top 12 spam-relaying countries, called “the Dirty Dozen,” released Monday, shows that Canada has one again not appeared on the list, which is issued four times a year. That puts the Canadian contribution to spam at less than 1.6 per cent.
The Americans continue to exercise their capitalist instincts using junk e-mail, producing 23.2 per cent of the world’s spam. China comes in right behind at 20 per cent.

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.
