...a wandering alien from a different plane roaming the universe in a tiny camper...
I'm the proprietor behind this here blog. My name is Ray and I'm a long time online-geek hailing from the old days of electronic bulletin board systems (BBSes). I'm also the guy behind Blogroll.org and NewsletterGeeks.com. Those sites are borne out of my enduring love for blogs and online communities.
In my "real" job, I own and operate one of the longest lasting collegiate sports community sites (since 1996) in GatorCountry.com. I'm just as surprised as you might be about that. ; )
I also happen to be living life as a professional wanderer, roaming the continent in my tiny camper. It's something I've been doing for a few years now and also much to my surprise it's become another enduring love of mine. You can read a bit about my travels on my personal blog at AlongtheRay.com.
