A guy carrying a tripod or easel around in an arts college? Alert the media. Ok, I know it’s happened here before, but it sounds like we’re overdoing it a little in the fear and panic department.
globeandmail.com: Sheridan locked down after report of gunman

When Halton police received a call about a man possibly clutching a long-barrelled gun while walking through the halls of Sheridan College yesterday, officers immediately switched into crisis mode.
Nearly three hours later, the campus was deemed safe and all buildings had been cleared, police said. No one was injured, and no arrests were made. School and police officials reviewing video surveillance footage late yesterday afternoon spotted the man, whom a teacher and several students had seen carrying what looked like a gun and wearing a green camouflage jacket in two different buildings on campus. He had not been located last night.
“We could not determine that it was not a gun, so it certainly hasn’t been ruled out,” Sheridan president Robert Turner said in an interview.

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.
