I guess I can do a #reintroduction #introduction #introductions
Hi! I'm Andrew! I run Retro.social.
I'm an SRE manager at a gaming company. I own a coffee shop, I run a makerspace, and I make toys.
I also do a #podcast called Expedition Sasquatch that releases infrequently and is super specifically funny. Like, I can't listen to a single episode without falling out of my chair laughing, but maybe you don't know any old southern men who want to hunt bigfoot professionally.
I run a peertube instance, which mostly gets music from my record label, and tv shows from the 50s.
If you know me from outside of the fediverse it's probably from my blog (ajroach42.com) which inexplicably gets featured on boingboing or the front page of that orange nightmare every once in a while. I did podcasts on floppydisks and a piece about how computing has gone wonky since circa 2012 or so.
I do media digitization and preservation, archiving 16mm film of TV shows and movies, and I write about that sometimes.
I have a tendency to do Big Long Posts. I won't apologize for that, Your instance should crush it down under a read more. If it doesn't, I will apologize for that.
I'm a #DIYMedia advocate. I strongly believe that we have to escape from our corporate media overlords, and fight back against them if we want to be free.
Uhhh... What else? I have Strong Opinions about things.
I post about #PD #publicDomain and especially #PDMusicList recently.
Here are some photos of things I've worked on recently.

in reply to Andrew (Television Executive) • • •I've been here for more than 5 years at this point. I've been running this instance for about 5 years.
I got the job I have now as a result of being on Mastodon, and that job has enabled all the other shit that I do, so I owe a lot to this place.

Tell me about how you're building the future.
Tell me about what sets you on fire.
Tell me about how you're becoming the rust up their gears.
Tell me about your triumphs and your plans.
Tell me how the World Can Be a Better Place.
