Steve Jobs snubs blogger

Well, what did you expect? He was standing in the middle of the exhibition floor, by himself, doing nothing more than looking at his iPhone. Sounds like a busy guy to me.

“I saw that Steve Jobs was just hanging out on the Macworld Expo floor, not in conversation, not talking to anyone, and poking at his iPhone in the middle of the wandering public, so I walked over,” Blue wrote on her SFGate.com Open Source Sex blog Thursday. “Thinking a girl–in this case, a fangirl, me–will never get anything if she doesn’t ask for it, I lightly touched his arm and said, ‘Hi.’ He looked at me, and I blushingly asked if it would be OK for me to take a picture with him. I didn’t say my name or give credentials or anything else, I was just any girl. He told me curtly, flatly, that I was rude. And turned his back to me.”

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.
