Back to square one

Off

I’m back home again. Still fighting the remnants of a virus I picked up flying down to San Jose.
My flight back was luckily uneventful — it was a non-stop back into Toronto, in an updated Airbus with touchscreen multimedia stations on the backs of the headrests. That was pretty good, and I got a choice of a dozen movies, as well as TV and audio podcasts (for lack of a better word). So I watched the latest Harry Potter film along with the first two thirds of the latest Die Hard film. I was pretty sure I knew where the Die Hard film was going, so had little regrets when we started our descent.
The most unfortunate part of the flight back was that food was still only available for purchase. It wasn’t a problem on the shorter flights, but man, a 5 hour flight without a snack was a bit of a downer. I bought an overpriced cylinder of Pringles during the Die Hard movie.

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.
