Off

Must have picked up a bit of a cold on the flight down, and my throat’s still a bit scratchy. Also, I’ve got radio voice — that deep, sultry voice reserved for stars like Kathleen Turner, J.J. McKay, and that guy who does all the movie trailer voice-overs.
Last night there was a party in one of the presidential suites and a few geeks got to drink and eat and play Wii games. The presidential suites are pretty big, but they look like they were less designed for comfort or extravagance than as functional business rooms. There was a board room with table and whiteboard, a wet bar, and a big lounge area. The bathroom, while enormous (maybe 12′ x 12′) had all the same amenities as in a regular room — the same stock tub, toilet, and countertop with sink. There was a phone by the toilet, but that doesn’t impress me much. And the bed … there didn’t appear to be a bed in these rooms, but it turns out there’s a king-sized murphy bed folded up in the cabinets along one wall. At the very least, it was much more open than my room.

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.
