#introduction
I have lived in the Bay Area for 30 years. am a dad and partner, but you won't see me broadcasting my private life much. birdsite had been my only social media, and I used it to share & hype arts and thoughts that excite me & will do the same here. #audio is my weapon of choice. I am a #theater #sound designer & musician. I perform solo weirdo #noise, play #organ & #synth in a psychedelic #cumbia band, plus other musiques/theatricals, & I will inform on some of these here. Toot!
I've been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I'm think I'm settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it's time to do another #introduction post.
I'm a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in #Theater (or #Theatre) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after college, so I ended up doing this.
I always have aspirations to do other things, but for now, I'm pretty happy spending most of my time as a dad and husband.
Some day, I'd like to get back into #acting, or maybe do some #VoiceActing. I also enjoy #writing and will, from time to time, post some #MicroFiction, usually from somebody's #WritingPrompt.
I love #StarTrek, and usually watch at least one episode nearly every day. I like all #SciFi really, though, as well as #fantasy. I used to read a lot, but find I don't have as much time or mental capacity for it as I used to. I also enjoy watching #anime, and have really been enjoying the new episodes of #Bleach lately.
Feel free to follow me if you think we have similar interests, and I may follow you back, if I think likewise. 👋

By way of #introduction:
I have opinions about how to get tech teams unstuck. Here's my contrarian how-to playbook on #ProjectManagement, which was fun to write. Take a look. I hope you find it useful.
I also have opinions about #Theater and #TheaterProduction, which is sort of the same thing.
Since I spent a lot of time doing #fintech risk management for bucks, people ask me infosec questions. But others here know more.
#introductions I've never been any good at Twitter so I'm unlikely to be any good at Mastodon, but I'm happy to be here. Happy to diversify a little. I hope I picked the right server to join.
It is going to take some getting used to not having to thread things, I can tell you that right now for free.
#adhd and #sleepdisorder, #computerscience and #theater, #lgbtqfriendly and adjacent, no terfs or fash need apply. I #amwriting sometimes too. Occasionally dabble in #ttrpgs.
What do you folks do around here for fun?
