Long ago (apparently 2014), I registered https://troypatterson.me as my “home” on the web. When I registered it, I tried to get troypatterson.com.

However, there is a famous writer named Troy Patterson (who registered the domain troypatterson.com in 2010). Interestingly, the domain automatically forwards to troydpatterson.com.

At the time, I tried to get troyrpatterson.com as well. That was also taken by the aforementioned Troy Patterson. It does seem to be available now, but I’m happy with my little spot on the Internet.

So, I ended up taking troypatterson.me. Little did I know that in a way, that would turn out to be prophetic. See, now I live in Maine, where the state abbreviation is ME. So, I guess I now have Troy Patterson of Maine as my website address.
