Need someone to lead product management at your software company? I build high-craft software and the teams that build it. I'm looking for my next opportunity. Check out my resume and get in touch.

This is the blog of Adam Kalsey. Unusual depth and complexity. Rich, full body with a hint of nutty earthiness.

Back The Net

Freshness Warning
This blog post is over 23 years old. It's possible that the information you read below isn't current and the links no longer work.

Iconocast, a leading site for Internet marketers, has lauched a campaign called Back The Net. It’s a great idea, and I’m backing it. I’m asking all my readers to pitch in. (Yes, all three of you.)

Dana Blankenhorn, writing in ClickZ, has another idea to help small business on the web. I like this idea. In fact, I’m going to put it into practice. I’ll help the first small businessman that contacts me with their web site. So let me know if you can help. And if you have Web skills and want to help out, let me know as well. I’ll try to put you in contact with a deserving business.
