Welcome to Eric42.com

Welcome to eric42.com! My name is Eric Richardson but I am better known as Eric42 across the Interwebs. For as long as I have been doing anything on the Interwebs, I have gone by the moniker of Eric42. Though you will find many other people out there using the name, I am the original! At one point in time, if you searched the web for Eric42, you found only me. That's less true today, but I'm still here!


So, if you want to know more about me, there really isn't all that much to say. The self-depricating part of myself wants me to just simply say that I am nobody. But I am trying my best to avoid doing that these days. I am just a simple guy that is a total and complete nerd! I am trained to be a bookkeeper. I love video games, wrestling and the Marvel movies and, one of the single most important things in my life is my Messianic faith, of which I have even began to add my writings to this very page.


However, one of the most common questions I have ever recieved is what does the 42 mean in my name. Of course, I always answer that it's the Ulimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything! Then I have to explain that to most people as well. In particular, it came from a series of books that I fell in love with many years ago called the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you haven't read it, I recomend that you do. You won't be disappointed.

Latest Updates

April 13, 2026:

So, there has been a good bit going on with me. I've been working... a lot. At my job, we had a mass exodus (only three people, but when it's a staff of only 8 people total...), thus I am having to pick up the slack and right now, that means working seven days a week right now until we get back to full staff. So, it's been hard to even want to work on this here website. But I'll be getting back to work on the Mirror Site here soon, so keep an eye out. But over the past few hours, I have done some small edits across many pages that will hopefully help people find things here on the website.
