Hi! 👋 I'm Chris Vogt.
This is my personal blog and digital garden: a place where I share what I’m building, exploring, and learning over time.
By day, I work as a software engineer at GoDaddy, creating tools that help small businesses build, grow, and understand their online presence. But this site isn’t about work — it’s where I follow my curiosity, experiment with ideas, and write code just for fun.
Most evenings, you’ll find me at the piano — practicing, recording, or just playing around with sound. I’ve been slowly teaching myself music, and I’m figuring out how to bring what I know from tech into making music. I also spend a lot of time with friends in the city and love connecting with people who are passionate about what they do.
This space is always evolving — part notebook, part playground — and I’m glad you found your way here.

Klara and the Sun
by Kazuo Ishiguro
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • Once in a great while, a book comes along that changes our view of the world. This magnificent novel from the Nobel laureate and author of Never Let Me Go is “an intriguing take on how artificial intelligence might play a role in our futures ... a poignant meditation on love and loneliness” (The Associated Press). • A GOOD MORNING AMERICA Book Club Pick! “What stays with you in ‘Klara and the Sun’ is the haunting narrative voice—a genuinely innocent, egoless perspective on the strange behavior of humans obsessed and wounded by power, status and fear.” —Booker Prize committee Here is the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her. Klara and the Sun is a thrilling book that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
