About RidiculouslyBen.com

I want you to have the best, helpful, and most importantly easy experience with my blog and its content. I intentionally for most of my posts provide an "easy mode skip ahead" feature for your convenience which offers a unique experience to get just the information you want when you want it!

 Posts are all about you, for you, about topics you're interested in. The plan is to cover just about anything! I want to make life ridiculously easier for my guests. I will cover financial advice, provide compelling short stories, technical walk-throughs, product/service reviews, and more!

 If you don't see something on my blog that you want to know about, we won't find it ridiculous to contact us to do some research!

 We encourage you to be lazy...Lazy = smart! Find that shortcut and find the easier way! Why? Because life is short, and we need answers now! Give me the short version any day! ;-)

What's in store for you???

Knowledge! Fun! Help! The "lazy (smart)" version of things. My goal is to provide you with what I've learned, researched and tested. A first step into an interest or helpful tool. I roughly do the "scientific method" on things so you don't have to. My hope is to make things ridiculously simple so its ridiculous not to understand!

 You may enjoy "the fluff" of my posts but I do encourage you to skip ahead to the easy bits if you prefer not to read as much.

About Me

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ben! I don't have all the answers but I'm looking forward to finding them. I was inspired to start this blog by friends and family but my main inspiration is my wife and daughters. Being a husband, father of two, and a college student, I end up doing a lot of research so we can get by in our everyday struggles.

If you're unfamiliar with message boards, forums, chat rooms, or live streams; you may think a lurker is a negative entity to have around. We think, someone or some THING is watching, stalking, and waiting. In the streaming world however, lurking can provide some benefits. What is a stream lurker and why do they lurk? Simply put, a lurker is someone that chooses not to or is unable to participate in a stream's chat. There are many reasons a person may not participate in a stream or the stream's chat that may be, but not limited to, social anxiety, shyness, out for a drive, working, and/or just about any reason that hinders the ability to type or click something in the stream. So, why lurk?  Support! While some lurkers are there to just check out a streamer most lurkers, from my experience, are there to support the streamer.
