Dan Akroyd gets (crystal) head

Many of you will think Dan Aykroyd’s lost his mind with the new viral video about “Crystal Head” vodka. Some are probably even thinking that it’s a really clever Ghostbusters 3 teaser.
Canadians know full well that Aykroyd: a) lost his mind a while ago; and b) sells a lot of booze in Canada.
His weird “PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal” television show was so over the top that CSICOP awarded him a “Snuffed Candle” award, for “contributing to the public’s lack of understanding of the methods of scientific inquiry.”
I’m really torn. I like Dan Aykroyd; I find his deadpan humour really funny. And I like booze — a lot. And I really, really like the idea of a skull-shaped bottle with booze in it. But I can’t justify spending a bunch of money on some questionable vodka made with Newfoundland water and “filtered” through diamonds. And it’s not the Newfoundland water I object to.

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.
