My name is Marc Tabyanan, and a retired engineer living in Oklahoma City, OK. I have been married to my wonderful wife Traci since 2010, no children, no pets, but with a quaint historic home in the Edgemere District of OKC.

I have been writing for various personal sites since 2015, with various amounts of energy. I don’t make any money off of this hobby, but I write simply because I really enjoy it. You can expect to read things I write about technology, privacy, life in general—especially retirement—and travel.

I decided to switch to Substack and a couple other platforms in late 2024 because the costs and headaches of running 6 Wordpress sites was just really eating me up. Now I just have 4 sites, with different goals and creative outlets:

- Medium/Substack: My personal writing will be published here on Substack and copied over to my Marc Tabyanan account on Medium.

- TabyanInn: This is a Substack site for my wife and I to publish our favorite family recipes and talk about cooking and restaurants in the Oklahoma City area, as well as our travel adventures.

- Untold Realms: This is a site now hosted on Ghost where I talk about my old school tabletop roleplaying gaming hobby.

- Oklahoma Cabooses: This is another site hosted on Ghost. It is a list of all of the cabooses in Oklahoma, and our journeys to find them all.

So that is why I am here, and what you can expect to read from me. Any questions?
