Personal websites that feel inhabited

I keep returning to these sites because they feel accumulated rather than packaged.

They are not visual references for Keepinghaus. They are reminders that a personal website can become a territory.

Fourmilab

Fourmilab was built by John Walker, a founder of Autodesk and co-author of AutoCAD. It contains software, experiments, astronomy, books, photographs, historical material, and whatever else earned a place over decades.

The subjects do not need to resolve into a professional identity. Their coexistence is the point.

100R

100R is the website of Hundred Rabbits. It holds projects, tools, travel, technical notes, recipes, experiments, and records of life aboard a sailboat.

Its underlying machinery is unusually small and understandable. More important, the site feels like the continuing record of a practice rather than a publication assembled for an audience.

The quality I want to remember

An inhabited site shows evidence of a life continuing.

Old pages remain. New interests arrive. Subjects overlap without needing a taxonomy to justify their proximity. The site becomes more itself through accumulation.
