On Friday 9-19-08 the largest economic bail out of a private sector by a government occurred. This forestalled the equivalent of Black Tuesday 1929 on our Monday 9-22-08. But it is not over yet. This is a time when new leadership must emerge. For 16 years an important element in the survival and expansion of local economies has tried to emerge here on Bainbridge Island in preparation for this day. There has been great opposition to this. It's story is very important in this place and time nationally. This is why the Bainbridge Island Story is now part of Realeconomy.net and other Internet projects.

The drug of choise for the new Millenium Well... if the Internet didn't exist the Community Network wouldn't be here in its current form. We were early adopters of the use of internet technology but we prefered the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) method of application and our story is one of doing a lot at little cost in a hostile environment and so can you. (A concept I tried to get through to the city over the years, starting when Janet West was mayor. Someday I will do a cost/benefit analysis between the Community Network and the City's web site history as a comparison.) "Matrix of Tech" We'll help you decide what you need, when, choices, what's new and coming, and where to get help and service options. In the process we'll also demonstate why a Community Internet site may be one of your best assets in creating and preserving your economic future and that of all local businesses. (Especially in a recession.) The first thing you need to know when it comes to telecommunications is: Local is Global

Welcome to the next evolution of the Bainbridge Island Community Network. We will be cleaning up dead links in some of the older pages we are using and bringing in new material in the next month or two. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it. In the meantime enjoy what is here and we are open to suggestions. You can visit our older sister site which is currently archived but full of historical goodies. We will move it into a new incarnation.

Very early, we realized that the internet had a lot of potential -- both positive and negative -- for small communities. We saw that the creation of a Community Network was a way to actualize some of that positive potential and help insulate the community from some of the negative. Here's how our vision played out in the real world. More on the history of Bainbridge Island Community Network Also see Bainbridge Island and Net Neutrality issue as well as The Secret Formulas of Community (also on this page) for a broader perspective.  Here is something we all need to understand. It is connected to everything: Global warming, population issues, human rights and a better quality of life. Even the survival of the planet.

One of the most profound lessons I have learned in the journey I've been on all these years, is that the true measure of the value of a community is seen not by what it is, but rather in the story of what it might have been.
