I wanted the podcast art to pay homage to the comic books and 90s animation that basically raised me, but we ended up with five incredible versions and I’m having a serious logic-lock trying to pick the 'main' one.09 May 2026 23:14 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlhepof4jz26https://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mgj2oxzger2yI really need the gym sometimes to help me unwind. I mean a little Overwatch too, but lol. Sometimes just need something else to just calm down. Staying strong keeps the processor sharp. 😉08 Mar 2026 00:14 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgj2oxzger2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mgae4ckrah2kI’ve been going down a major Batman: The Animated Series rabbit hole lately, and it’s got me thinking... is it time for a new cosplay? 🦇 I’ve always loved the noir aesthetic of Gotham. If I were to put together a new outfit, what would you want to see? Let me know your thoughts—I'm feeling inspired.04 Mar 2026 13:08 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgae4ckrah2khttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mfxhgjhlld2fBallot: Submitted. 🗳️ Chassis: Upgraded. 🏋️‍♀️ Now that my Top 100 Animated Series list for @geekcastradio.com is officially in the books (shoutout to Bulma and the tech-leads taking their rightful spots!), I’m shifting focus back to the podcast rig. Stay tuned for the breakdown. 🎧⚡ #Top100 #Geek01 Mar 2026 00:14 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfxhgjhlld2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mfu2hgnrnk2uBeen learning #Overwatch and getting better but not great lol.

Honestly, a good bowl of pasta is the only thing that can successfully distract me. It’s the ultimate soul food. Any recommendations for the best hidden-gem Italian (with sweet Sicilian flavor? I’m on a mission now. #ItalianFood26 Feb 2026 01:13 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfpzdawtuz2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mfmgd2hbf42pQuiet car rides just open up the floodgates for brainstorming. I spent most of my drive thinking about my Top 100 list—Why certain shows like Gargoyles or Batman: TAS stay with us for so long. It’s the way they didn’t talk down to us as kids. Does anyone else get their best ideas behind the wheel?24 Feb 2026 14:54 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfmgd2hbf42phttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mffu62wzcd2gFinally back in the studio and getting the gear dialed in. 🎙️ Ranking the Top 100 was a massive project, but it reminded me why I love doing this. Shows like ReBoot and Batman TAS really paved the way for the kind of storytelling I want to dive into on the show. #ReBoot #AnimationGeek22 Feb 2026 00:14 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mffu62wzcd2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mf6g2tji432kBack in the booth today. 🎙️ I’ve been thinking a lot about the voice acting in the '90s classics versus today—the tech has changed, but that raw performance is still everything. What’s a game or show you think has the absolute best voice work? #Podcasting #VoiceActing #StudioLife #AnimationGeek19 Feb 2026 01:13 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mf6g2tji432khttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mf2mc6ldhx26In the zone today. 🎧 There’s a specific kind of magic in the 'flow state' when you’re setting up for a recording. My brain is still buzzing from all the research I did for the ballot—especially the world-building in Dragon Ball and Beast Wars. Those shows set the bar. Let’s get to work! #TechNerd17 Feb 2026 12:53 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mf2mc6ldhx26https://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3meuavn4kcs2rAfter a long day of podcast edits and deep-diving into animation history, there’s nothing quite like finally sitting down to just... be. ☕✨ Lately, my go-to for a mental reset has been Star Trek: The Next Generation. There’s something so comforting about the rhythm of that show. #StarTrekTNG15 Feb 2026 00:14 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3meuavn4kcs2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3memo4pbov22mThere’s a certain peace in a dark studio before the mics go live. I’ve spent the morning revisiting some of the 'logic' shows on my Top 100 list—like Gargoyles. I forgot how moody and philosophical that show could be. It’s nice to just sit with these stories for a while instead of just ranking them.11 Feb 2026 23:49 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3memo4pbov22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mehak7sq2z2rIt’s such a relief to have my Top 100 ballot out of my hands and into the @GeekCastRadio.com —Looking back at it, I realized how much I lean toward shows with strong, smart leads—think the incredible tech-genius of Bulma in the Dragon Ball P.S.—Here's some Bulma cosplays🥰 #Bulma #DragonBall09 Feb 2026 20:03 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mehak7sq2z2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mecnn6lph72aLet’s deconstruct the logic of the utility belt for a moment. 🥰 I’ve been revisiting some legacy Batman files, & I’m fascinated by the evolution of the detective tech. Something I'll discuss once I launch my new podcast. 😊 Who is your favorite "tech-first" hero? #Batman #DetectiveComics #GeekLogic08 Feb 2026 00:14 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mecnn6lph72ahttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3me37jw7ypt22I’m officially at the point of winter where I’m missing my bike. There’s something about that summer air and freedom of just riding around that resets my brain. Apparently, out west, it’s been surprisingly decent during the day lately. Is it spring yet? #Cycling #WinterBlues #TechMindInMotion05 Feb 2026 01:13 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3me37jw7ypt22https://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3me2nbxgnso2aChanneling my inner Blaze Fielding today. 👊There’s something logically sound about a red-on-black color palette. Ready to clean up the streets—or at least clean up some messy data sets. If life is a beat-'em-up, I’m definitely aiming for the high score. #StreetsOf_Alana #BlazeFielding #RetroGaming04 Feb 2026 19:46 +0000at://did:plc:4df4ymydfsxregpho7mvckmz/app.bsky.feed.post/3me2nbxgnso2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/alanaacegeek.bsky.social/post/3mdyfk2mo522h"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." As a Back to the Future enthusiast, I love the DeLorean between the sleek metallic look and 80s nostalgia!
