House in shambles

We spent a week in Florida getting our SCUBA open-water certification, and decided to get the bulk of our kitchen work done while we were there. It was a partial success — we got our certifications. However, the kitchen, and basement bar are far from complete. Templating for the countertops will be done today (hopefully), and we’ll see the rest of the cabinets moved in before that happens. We’re currently doing a lot of barbecuing, and eating easy-to-assemble meals.
The laundry room floor was done first. It’s nicely tiled now:

Here’s what the kitchen looked like before:

Here’s what it looked like last week:

Here it is now:

Here’s the basement bar. It’s actually been tiled and grouted since this photo, and we painted last night, so it’s not as bad as this:

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.
