About Gary Burge
I am an experieced web programmer, techno-activist, romantic idealist, who never quite left the sixties, even though I became quite successful in the Internet space.
My business philosphy is different now than when I toiled in the bigco world. About a decade ago I experienced a life-altering epiphany: I was sacrificing my personal life and health to feed a corporate monster.

The chief executive of AdventNet does not have fraud in mind. Instead, he wants to remove what he calls the “value-pad†from corporate IT in general and business software in particular: all those millions of dollars he thinks are wasted on inefficient production structures, marketing and, not least, proprietary standards. ‘In the world of corporate IT’, he says, ‘the low-cost revolution is very much unfinished business.’”
