1999
The name
Christopher registered oogle.com in 1999 and started using the Oogle name for website work. Over the years the domain also became home to other ideas and projects. Some lasted longer than others. The name stuck.

2017
The Digital Farmers Market
After moving his family onto a small farm, Chris saw how hard it was to find local farming information in one place. Produce, livestock, feed, seed, equipment, a hand for the day, the fair on Saturday: all of it was scattered across forums and Facebook groups. Oogle.com became the Digital Farmers Market, on the web and as an app, with the Oogle tractor as its logo. The project grew out of Chris's interest in farming, locally grown food, healthier living and bringing local people together. It is still one of his favorite Oogle projects.

For now
The market is parked
The Digital Farmers Market is retired for now. The idea is not gone for good, and it may come back in another form someday. That is one reason oogle.com is kept separate from the agency.

2025
Oogle.net
Oogle came back to web design and development in 2025 with the launch of oogle.net. The agency handles design, development, hosting, maintenance and support under a name that has been part of Chris's web work since 1999. Keeping the agency on oogle.net also keeps oogle.com free for whatever comes next.
