The more time I spend on Mastodon and get to see all of your wild, amazing sites, the more obsessed with the idea that we all need websites. We ALL NEED WEBSITES. MAKE ONE. I WANT TO SEE IT, YOU WEIRDO LET ME LOVE YOUR WEBSITE.

Since I moved to a new instance, here's a new #introduction.

Hello. 👋🏻 I'm Keenan (they/them pronouns). I'm a visual & verbal #artist originally from Chicago, now living near #Louisville.

I worked in corporate tech for like 12 years before my mind broke and I quit. Now I'm focusing on art full-time (with consulting on the side).

Big shock, I love video games, movies, TV, music, podcasts/podcasting, and tech (kinda)

I play a lot of #escapefromtarkov

I spent the last two weeks working on what turned out to be one of the most personal essays I've ever written. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Resharing this because I’m proud of it, as well as how 2023 became the year I started writing again. https://gkeenan.co/avgb/i-learned-to-love-cooking-and-all-i-had-to-do-was-destroy-my-entire-life

Decided to get a little spicy on LinkedIn today. (Yes, this is what I consider "LinkedIn Spicy." It is a network for professionals after all!)

I made a blogroll. I'll add more, but it's been hours and I need a break.

The stuff that's happening at OpenAI is very reasonable and cool and awesome.

So I've been thinking of trying a little experiment with my blog for awhile.

I recorded companion audio for this post: https://gkeenan.co/avgb/hot-take-its-okay-if-we-dont-consume-all-of-the-worlds-information-before-we-die

I'm considering creating a podcast feed of audioblog episodes so people can listen rather than read my work. I don't think EVERY piece I write necessarily needs an audio companion, but I liked how this one turned out, so at the very least, hear you go. ;)

I'm sorry that this is a little self-serving, but I've never had my writing described as "delightfully postmodern" before and it makes me happy.

Usually, it's something along the lines of: "Wow. That's a lot." Thanks, Mom.

Yeah, it’s four hours, but it’s some of the best YouTube has to offer. https://youtu.be/T0CpOYZZZW4?si=lk2ReWVQd8wd8IRN

If you’re already familiar with Jenny Nicholson’s work, you know why this is exciting.

But wow, what a damning indictment of Disney as a brand and how far they’ve fallen in pursuit of endless profit.
