“My life has a superb cast but I can’t figure out the plot.”
– Ashleigh Brilliant, English cartoonist & author
Updated: April 11, 2024
This section has been updated and revised, and remixed and rebooted, various times. But, the essence of what I’m trying to say, is the same. I’m not going to give you some LinkedIn description of who I am (I have one, but you just won’t find it here).

I’m a techie web dev nerd, a part-time podcaster / filmmaker / travel vlogger… and an inconsistent blogger, here on rayhom.com, of my personal experiences growing up and still living as part of the generation that made “nerd/geek culture” mainstream. I have an obsessive fascination with the arrival of the AI revolution, 80s scifi/horror – namely Aliens, Terminator, Robocop, and Hellraiser – pop culture nostalgia, and love the smell of old, used books… sounds kinky, but, in context, I love reading them too.
This site, rayhom.com (sometimes I refer to it as rayhomdotcom for visually phonetic reasons), started out as a bunch of HTML web pages (learned out of a Dummies book) way back around ’97 to share a photo gallery with fellow peers, and promote my dreams as a writer and content creator. It was, and still is, a personal site to keep me connected with friends & family of my “going ons”, esp. , in this exploding social media networking age. rayhom.com has evolved through various incarnations, and WordPress has been a tremendous help in easing my adaptation to technical changes of the Web (it helps to be a web developer, too).
At its most basic function, rayhom.com is a blog. At its most ambitious intentions, it is to help brand myself. In between all that, it’s a place where I’m chronicling parts of my Life, and speak to the few of you that stop by to read about it.
I attend a lot of Cons and “geek” out all things techie, science fiction, and anything involving with the technological singularity and artificial intelligence. Sometimes, late into the night (PST), you can find me gaming on my PS5 (handle: rayhom) with fellow online gamers or on my PC through Steam. I grew up on a lot of intellectual/political Hiphop of the 80s/90s, and can lose myself into a lot of Freestyle Dance music of the same era. I’m not much into watching sports or drinking wine, but I enjoy a sip of whiskey on occasion, and drink a large ounces of Starbucks.

^This is non-clickable, video no longer exists. But, I acted in an SAP SuccessFactors HR Software video where I was WFH using their software. As a techie nerd, I’ve been WFH for over the past decade now.
I’ve made appearances, spoken, acted, and got interviewed at public events, or appeared in a publication or other forms of media (which I track below). Ironically, I grew up a reserved kid. I’ve overcome a lot of my introversion having experienced a lot of social events and public speaking, but I credit it mainly to having kept a lot journals, reading a lot of scifi/horror books and western philosophy books, growing up on a large dose of hip-hop during the 80s & 90s, and mastered the art of making a good amount of honest, good friends, that became like-family.
That being said…
I also did host a pop culture/techie-type podcast titled MEMCast, an offshoot of my media crew, Mind.Erase.Media, where I filmed and produced a few short films. (Plans for more projects are forthcoming.) Anyways, I’ve been running MEMCast since pre-covid pandemic, then I took a hiatus. Tragically, a lot of family & friends have died, prematurely, in recent years, including my co-producer for M.E.M. I took a break, but I’m not broken. There’s a maturity and growth in accepting death as reality part of life (I don’t like it but I accept it).
It is around early 2024, that I’m updating this, and I’m currently spending my time getting up to speed with the acceleration of the AI revolution, which I have dreamed of, but never thought I’d live to be a part of. I am planning to bring back MEMCast this coming summer, and also have a few AI-related projects, in the works. One day, I will finish a scifi novel, and do underwater photography while scuba diving. And, I like werewolves (sounds random, but, if you know, it makes sense a little). When I’m old and unable to physically do anything, I will binge watch Three’s Company until lights out.
But, in the meantime, you can prepare check out my next level evolution: rayhom.ai

I am no one famous, nor an influencer, or considered to be famous but I am blessed with a great circle of family & friends that warrants this site. With the advent of social media, and Internet technology, I’ve taking advantage of the tech to have connected to large group of different people who I proudly can call close friends, who I also keep in touch in-person, have the most unique conversations and experiences, which make Life worth living.
Thanks!
