Stuck in Detroit

I’m currently waiting for a plane in Detroit airport. I was supposed to be home yesterday, but a 5 minute technical problem and a 15 minute weather delay kept us from landing on time, so we missed our connecting flight.
I had attended a conference in Chicago, and was only supposed to be gone overnight. Apparently, a weather delay doesn’t get you a free hotel coupon, but a minor technical problem does (though, it doesn’t get you a meal coupon). The airport staff were very pleasantly surprised at my agreeable attitude, and confided in me that they *usually* have to call security in these situations. The process was actually quite streamlined and the hotel check-in was as simple as exchanging my coupon for a room key.
In any case, I got a good night’s sleep, courtesy of NorthWest, and I can now get some duty free liquor. So, it’s not such a bad situation.

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.
