Finishing touches

Off

With the exception of a little more paint, some vent covers, and a little bit of cleanup, the kitchen and bar are finished. I’ll try to get some final pictures up later. We also got around to mounting the TV on the wall, and painting the TV room adjacent to the bar — since we were working on the bar, it makes sense to get the TV room as well.
I painted the walls in the upstairs hallway and the dining room, since these were the rooms next to the kitchen, and they were heavily modified when the kitchen was re-done. I’ve still got to scrape some of the old paint off the floor and paint some trim before we’re entirely done. We also need to find places for some things.
The next step will be drywalling the garage/studio (I promise), and clean up the computer room. We’ll be converting it into a guest room at some point, putting a sectional sofa in the TV room, and moving the futon over. I’m in the long, slow process of decommissioning the servers and server rack, probably moving the blog offsite to some place with a little fault tolerance and sticking to using a laptop at home.

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.
