welcome to my website for my portfolio and random other media projects. i am still building this out so apologies if things break, idk anything about coding in html. anyway feel free to look around, i hid a few secrets..
if you're here just to get my email it's keyntac@gmail.com
announced my group film publicly today. it's pretty sick, y'all out there in the void should audition for our roles. tired as hell but i finally learned audio buttons to which i will now ascend beyond the veil of normal levels of annoying to advanced annoying. get ready for everything having too many meme sounds and stupid links i make just to blast noises right into your brainholes. also jesus christ uhh my eyes are bloodshot from tryin to finish my animatic, make posters, interviews, redesigning a resume, and whole buncha other online shenanigans not limited to said sfx additions and finally programming the portfolio section. we're surviving soldiers.
Hashing out more college things before I can crack into web dev.. alas my priorities must remain organized. all that to say i bought a really rad shirt imma upload a pic of for the sidebar at a thrift store and now i'm wondering how does one pull off winter sweaters. like i love how cozy they are, but in no way do i ever feel like anything but a certified sack of mouldy onions while i'm wearing them. gotta upgrade my game ig because some of my friends look sick in their cold weather gear. i'm a canadian, i should've like been born straight outta the womb with knowledge of winter wear and navigating this sort of thing, but BC winter is mild asf and ontario doesn't pull her punches.
but yes for website updates i've been too zonked to impliment the gun noises yet. soon... soon it will all be perfect. i also changed my username on like most things?? i gotta fix all my links still and swap emails around, but i should have time tomorrow to do all that boring shit. or maybe tonight. honestly at this point i just want it to be winter break so i can go home and reorganize my whole system for getting shit done again. surprisingly when you work nonstop from the moment you wake up to the moment you crash at night with nothing but shitty fanfic as your escape, things start to drive you a little batshit. like dear god was youtube always this annoying. i used to get good recs but now its all shitty slop essays and american news?? i want to listen to some quality ass content here. guess i'll just rewatch sao abridged for the billionth time or swap over to my playlists... anyway this has been suuuuper rambly bs and if you're still reading this i question your sanity. why do you do this to yourself?
hell yeah i got that sick header to finally work i was worried it wouldn't.. all hail catbox the saviour of all gif lovers. nearly done some major assignments so im hoping to be able to get some cool and fun stuff made other than just gradually accumulating gifs to throw on here. might make a new bg for the site as well to match the header. as for the name keyntac i've been planning on rebranding to it for like over a year now, but the fear of not being recognized by the public for my username that people call me as a nickname irl is moderately awful.
mintybagels was always a temp name because i made it as a backup, but its not really me anymore and too many people go by mint online imma be real. not to mention people think im doing some gender fuckery because nonbinary people love naming themselves after plants. i mean i do do some gender fuckery but not to that degree ig. gender is stupid and so am i so just appreciate the rad rebrand now cuz i dont plan on doing it ever again.
o also keep thinking of more things to throw on here and i'm realizing that in order to get an internship i need to 'specialize' or something i think? idk i like all parts of the animation pipeline and the idea of having to brand myself as sheerly visdev or a boarder or whatever freaks me tf out. tbh i'd rather be working on games again cuz it's what i know and what i've worked best on. maybe there's a studio out there looking for a nerd like me to come along who knows. i just want the paycheque, a roof over my head, and internet access so i can keep throwing shit at the wall until i see an idea through... i love making original stuff but once you've boxed yourself in as a 'type' on socials it's kinda desolate for you to be seen as anything else. ah well, who gafs about social scores anyway, i used to but now i just wanna make stuff my friends think is cool like our dnd games. that's what it's all about man. just making cool junk that makes me laugh and other people hate they ain't thought of it sooner. it's a race to the top of the idea pile and i've been laggin for too long. time to polish the old bootstraps and ride those leather fuckers into the morning light. all hazy n shit i wonder what i can cook up with this plastic broadcast thing i've been playing with.
the brain bees are buzzing and i'm hyped to actually maybe throw stuff around here. i was thinking of starting a blog section for my long-winded self aggrandizing bullshit media rants, but instead i will reign in my worst tendencies and only grace you with my media takes VIA semi-daily homepage updates. i don't have the time for a random ass blog, and knowing myself i will inevitably take it too far and end up trying to monetize my very stupid ideas. to that point this entire line of thinking began because i was relistening to nonagon infinity by the very excellent aussie band king gizzard and the lizard wizard.
if you have never heard the sultry cadences of stu mackenzie you need to get on that shit right the fuck now because they have been putting out exceptionally long bangers that stretch for 10 minute intervals and adopt visuals of the greatest of 70s films when white people started taking drugs to feel empathy and realized trippy art was cool. i love the classic rock era and psych rock, and seeing a band with such unrestrained passion for the forms of drug-induced mania that created such audiophillic masterpieces as sgt. pepper (another fav album of mine) and the various branches of british lads getting freaky with it brings a tear to the eye of this feeble old man. and by tear i mean hours of headbanging while speeding through mountain passes in remote canadian countryside. and by old man i mean a giant sweaty art student.
that's all for now, today is a chiller one since i got some shit done so i'm working ahead in hopes of having a weekend full of sweater thrifting and website alchemy.
eheheheh i'm starting to figure out how all this works and it makes realize that this shit really is just another language. wow who knew programming languages were called that for a reason. i'm still a north american though so the idea of being able to communicate in a way that isn't various grunts and internet terms is scary to my infantile caveman brain. i need to learn french.
anyway so yeah lots of new things around here! the about me page is mostly done, and i've set a deadline for my portfolio page cuz y'all i got crazed deadlines this sem it's not lookin' too hot i'll be real. for now though i will enjoy having a page dedicated to describing the most annoying and confusing person i know-- me.
for my next trick, i'm going to make all the clicks play the shadow the hedgehog gun menu sound because that shit is funny as hell and i can do what i want on here. recruiters i hope you enjoy my unrestricted whismy and batshittery on display and consider me a viable employee, because despite what some may think, i am actually decent at getting things done when i need to. and on that note i gotta finish some assignments due soon.
finally added proper functioning tabs for everything and separated home content through an iframe. i hear iframes are kinda bad but it seems fine to me. maybe just one of those coding things where the nebulous 'industry' chews out any who dare question the formalitities of their saccharine bullshit or maybe im just bad at java and dont want to learn other ways to embed things. either way it works fine enough for me and i think this site is starting to look fun. primarily i still want to add a better header with some art im making because just text is not my style. that's really filler up there, flapping about as though speaking on the nature of humanity's evolution is a profound way to greet people or something. tbh i just wanted to write something there.
anyway college is busy and im vaguely hungover and need to finish my animation work. should i play around with color text? i want to get better and this sort of thing so let me see what i can do. This is some grade A technical wizardry i dont think many people appreciate about webdesign these days. this sort of multitext jamboree is a hell of a lot better than having to read legal documents or slate pages. goddamn if my school used multicoloured text maybe i would actually be able to pay attention to the long-winded bs coming out of some of that content. speaking of... i got a make-up class in about t-minus 12 minutes here so time to wrap up this update. if you are reading this you are a homosexual and i hope your family loves and accepts you for who you are.
- mint the html wizard
no new media links, just making the front page pretty before i get to the rest of the site. i need to have some portfolio work done by this week anyway so gotta speed up. times are busy.
