👋 Hi everyone, I’m Mark, and this is my #introduction!

I’m a #SoftwareEngineer who codes mostly in #Perl, enjoys discussing #AynRand’s #philosophy of #Objectivism, and shares thoughts on #ballroom #dance, #cosplay, and playing #music on #BassGuitar.

I attend #DragonCon in #Atlanta, as well as #DeltaHCon and #Comicpalooza right here in #Houston.

You may know me from my previous #fediverse / #Mastodon accounts. Sorry about all the jumping around.

Rommel Salandanan himself moved back to 🇵🇭 for family & professional reasons, so #AnimeAtTheAlamo fell to a different group of volunteers and they had a great run for several years after Rommel's departure but with the COVID shutdown it died...it has come back in limited form under the auspices of #Comicpalooza but once that con is done it shuts down again. HIDIVE seems to have no interest in reviving it and restoring its pre-pandemic format, alas.

Comicpalooza 2019 Recap: Now Spider-Man Approved! http://hub.me/amL41 Comicpalooza has come and gone again for another year. From editing pictures and putting this article together, it took me nearly another week to record everything properly. 2,500 words and 80 some-odd photographs later and Comicpalooza 2019 is finally complete on my end. #CP2019 #Comicpalooza #Houston #convention #comics #comicbooks #popculture #anime #celebrities #movies #television #animation #cosplay #costumes
