Off

Stopped in at Starbucks this morning for a coffee and maybe some coffee pods (or whatever it is they call them). I bought a single serving drip coffee maker on Saturday for work, but initial tests weren’t promising; using the supplied permanent filter caused coffee to spill over into both the cup and the reservoir, and using a loose tea bag wasn’t any better — the tea bag floated, allowing the water to spill around it, making a watery cup of hot water.

My thinking is that a properly-fitted coffee pod will not float, and will not let water or grounds spill out into other parts of the mechanism.

Update: Bought some Maxwell House filter packs. If you fold them in half, they fit just fine in the machine, and produce a nice strong cup of coffee. No mess either. I also bought some #1 coffee filters for when the packs run out and I need to switch to another coffee source.

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.
