Wow… I really like this flat world book!

The World Is Flat

Boy I’m enjoying this book!   The principles are phenomenal and I like that the book doesn’t feel overly slanted to the optimism or pessimism of outsourcing.  I’m feeling a little excited about the potential to leverage “virtual assistants” to help me out.   I’ve got a full time job that keeps me really busy and a ton of websites / special projects on the side that are eating up everything else… doesn’t leave much for social time or family time.

First “real” Introduction To Outsourcing My Life

August 15th, 2007 Outsourcing

For the past 4 months my buddy (manager) at work has been trying diligently to get me to read the book “The World Is Flat“.  I finally decided to look the book up to see if it is available on the California Digital Library Consortium and voilà! it is available for download.   I’ve got a pretty long commute to my day job (75 minutes each way) so I’ve got plenty of time to listen to books on tape.   I hope this is as good as he says it is!
