So, on that note, #introduction / #introductions time. Repurposing the one I wrote for mastodon.social with some minor edits. I’m not usually a hashtag type of person, but I’m told that they make it easier to connect with folks on other instances with common interests.

Hi, I’m Andrew, and I’m *bad* at #smalltalk. I like #dadjokes #badjokes and #puns. Fortunate enough to be from #Texas but not terribly happy with where my state is headed. #Parent to two difficult but wonderful toddlers.

#Computers and #tech are a both a hobby and a career, I work in #IT doing desktop support but am working towards #sysadmin / #infosec . Passably fluent with #windows #macos and #ubuntu, and a little bit of a lot of things running in my #homelab . I do a good bit of #3dprinting either toys for my kids or toys for me. Back burner hobbies include #hamradio (Amateur Extra that I need to retest for soon), #fishing #hunting and other #outdoors activities.
