Hi, I'm Harry Forsdick. Welcome to my web site. I
have set up this site to deliver on my belief
that the true value of the Internet is the Empowerment
of the Individual -- our ability to inexpensively
find information under our own control and our
ability to publish facts, ideas, concerns, passions,
joys, advice, etc...
I
have been involved in the Internet since 1971,
working at BBN where the ARPANet, the precursor
to the Internet was developed. The maturation
of the Internet is extremely satisfying to see,
having worked thirty years ago imagining many
of the tools and techniques that have come to
pass.
This site is a collection of articles shown
in reverse chronological order. Although a little
confusing when you first encounter the site,
if you come back, the most recently entered
material is found at the top of the opening
page. If this is your first time here, try going
from bottom to top to experience the articles
as I entered them.
The Internet creates a level playing field
where the only thing limiting your ability to
get your material published to the world is
your own creativity and energy. I hope you enjoy
this site. |

 At the end of June, I called my sister Jane and she told me about a wonderful weekend she had just come back from, which included a variety of boating including kayaking. She went on to tell me how she had just gone out and bought a small kayak. She was talking about exactly what I wanted to do. It must be in the genes. So, being the impulsive sort, I went right out and bought the same kayak, a Perception Sparky. We bought this boat just before the 4th of July. We've had a lot of fun with this little yellow kayak.  Now, that we've gotten the bug, we decided to buy another one -- a tandem kayak so that either 2, 3 or even 4 of us could go out at once. So, a couple of days ago, we bought an Old Town Twin Otter tandem kayak. This is a big roomy boat -- very stable. We plan to take it out for it's maiden voyage this afternoon.
