Press Release—Benjamin Rubenstein Unveils New Website

Silver Spring, Maryland — Benjamin Rubenstein, aka BENjamin ruBENstein, aka me, has launched a new website, benjaminrubenstein.com. This is our, I mean my, first site redesign since I think(?) 2010. The site now features a choose-your-destination on the homepage—like, do you want to learn about Benjamin’s speaking and officiant services or his writing? Whichever destination you choose, you’ll find stunning photos (of the gorgeous venues where Benjamin has spoken and meh photos of Benjamin), a wealth of extravagant information promoting only the aspects of his life he wants you to explore, and outlandish reviews of his work. He swears he didn’t fabricate these reviews.

“I’m so proud to launch my new website,” I said to myself for this press release. “For over 14 years I shared my stories and life on a standalone Blogger blog called cancerslayerblog, but secretly I was a little jelly of others’ full-featured narcissism vehicles on content management behemoths WordPress or Squarespace. Finally I made moves to get my own, and then covid hit and I got weaker, fatter, and lazier, and did nothing except watch all the apocalypse movies ever made…like seriously, all of them. And finally, here we are with benjaminrubenstein.com, the only site on the internet with an ‘about’ page that includes an image of a scanogram.” (Fact check: almost certainly incorrect.)

Some other site features include:

  • A simple contact form that actually works (at least for now) and will lead to an actual response;

  • Intuitive forms to subscribe to blog posts, er I mean PRESS RELEASES, and Benjamin’s once-every-quarter-or-so email newsletter; and

  • Three absolutely breathtaking thumbnail collections demonstrating some of the places Benjamin has been featured in, written in, and spoken at.

We encourage you to peruse the site, subscribe to all the things, and share Benjamin’s for-pay services with everyone you ever met. And stay tuned for fresh and sexy new content, perhaps as soon as this weekend but maybe later because of that whole weaker, fatter, and lazier thing.

We’d like to thank Mike Reda for designing the site and Benjamin’s mother just because.
