Pete Millspaugh » Programmer & writer in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I’m writing a book about the secret life of internet domains and working part-time on the joy of programming at Val Town. You’ve found my digital garden—welcome.

You’re welcome to explore the full garden or read more about it. Tug on the edison bulb (top right) to turn off the lights, and press ⌘+K to search. You’ll find over 100 scraps of writing planted in the garden—here’s a selection that readers seem to like:

A brief history of domains

This year, dot com turned 40.

The nature of the job

A cathartic essay about a programmer’s relationship with AI.

Eminent domains

When domains go dark and countries reclaim their digital land.

A malleable garden

What could you plant in a malleable garden?

Weeks of your life

An interactive visualization of your life, week by week.
