Few have recognized the name Frogstar from it's planitary origins, billions of miles away in the galaxy, somewhere in the vicinity of Beetleguise. Frogstar is a fabulous planet, at least in fiction. Home to the Total Perspective Vortex machine, Frogstar is part of a cult British science fiction novel series; The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, written by Douglas Adams. I picked the name for my first web site, because the books were all significant to me as a child, and again later in life.

I've always been a fan of the subtle inside joke that stand alone in their own right as a neat company or product name, but have some extra meaning to fans of the same things I enjoy.

I'm not a heavy reader, but my memories of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy go back to childhood, and the radio shows played on my morning commute with my father to work. Later, they were the first novels I ever read recreationally. I've now read all 5 books in the trilogy, and two extra short stories. I've played the computer game, watched the videos of the BBS television series, listened to the original radio series (both on radio and CD deluxe edition). I am a HHGTTG fan on multiple levels. I respect the work, and the creative (A.D.D suffering) mind of the author.
