I could chuck christopher.org on Pressable and it would have a good long life there surely, but now it’s tied to my own future death and legacy plan. Automattic has 100-year domains ($2,000) and 100-year hosting. ($38,000, includes domain). Jesse mentioned we could get christopher.org onto that as well. 

Ari (Christopher’s partner in life and business), David (Christopher’s brother), and I talked it over and agreed it would be a good plan. 

100 years! This is longer than any of us can promise good stewardship of Christopher’s digital footprint. 

I imagine that maintaining someone else’s digital footprint following their death has to feel like a major responsibility. And while the thought of a 100-year domain and hosting bundle for $40,000 might seem ludicrous to those of us who are living, I get how relieving it would be to get those responsibilities off your plate and wipe your hands clean of that overhead for the rest of your life.

It’s not a bad idea in an estate plan, either. In addition to funeral costs, there’s something about planning in advance for what to do with your digital presence once you’re gone.

And Christopher, you should know I got your Grunt build process running again. You’re welcome. But I’m not going to fix those Sass warnings. They are just deprecation warnings, it’s fine.

LOL, I can only hope that someone would do me the favor of maintaining my outdated Gulp scripts and dependencies after I’m gone. Then again, a backwards-compatible web should ensure that I never have to worry about that, so long as my website is properly archived.
