Marc Tabyanan

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, living in a new (to us) home on the west side 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 that I am passionate about: technology, privacy, travel, and life in general—especially retirement.

I decided to switch to Medium and a couple other platforms in late 2024 because the costs and headaches of running 6 Wordpress sites was just really eating me up. That worked for a bit, but then I moved my sites over to Write.as.

Now I just have 4 sites, with different goals and creative outlets:

• Marc Tabyanan: My personal writing will be published here on Write.as and copied over to Medium (marctabyanan.writeas.com, marctabyanan on Medium, or marctabyanan.us).
• TabyanInn: This is a blog 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 (tabyaninn.writeas.com, or tabyaninn.com).
• Untold Realms: This is a site now hosted on Ghost that I am trying to move to Write.as where I talk about my old school tabletop roleplaying gaming hobby (untold-realms.com).
• Oklahoma Cabooses: This is another site hosted on Ghost that needs a new home. It is a list of all of the cabooses in Oklahoma, and our journeys to find them all (oklahoma-cabooses.us).

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