Reminder to vote today

October 14, 2008 D. H. McKee

Off

Going to vote tonight. I want to make a difference and not just throw my vote away (though any party I vote for gets more money just by getting my vote).
This Vote for Environment website is cool — something I’ve been looking for since I started voting. It takes latest polling information and predicts the most likely winners. You can switch ridings and monitor the situation elsewhere.

What’s also cool is that it can offer suggestions for strategic voting if the race is close. Apparently, in Kitchener-Waterloo, it’s not close, so you could probably vote for whomever. Andrew Telegdi is the incumbent in this Liberal stronghold. Which is cool.

Which means I can throw my vote away.

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.
