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.

Colorado 2005: Mountain Madness
In January, my friend Tom Fortmann sent me an announcement about a bicycle trip titled "Mountain Madness". He was thinking of taking this trip and at the end of his message said, said somewhat whimsically, "Are you interested in coming along and driving the SAG van?" After an instant, I responded saying "Sure, why not?" So, I contacted Scott Effner and offered to drive the van. Scott greeted my offer with pleasure because it meant that he and the other riders wouldn't have to take turns driving the van. Thus, my start in experiencing an amazing group of people and their even more amazing trip in Colorado, traveling 1200 miles in 14 days over 12 passes, with an accumulated climb of 82,000 feet.

This was an experience I won't forget.
