One of the ways in which the current  technology revolution can be harnessed is through the outsourcing of tasks to a distributed or "zero-gravity" workforce - one that can work from anywhere.  In this context, individuals don't waste time getting to and from a "place of work" and the employer of such resources pays just for the time spent doing his or her work - coffee breaks and social chatter are excluded!  Finally, the commitment of employing someone together with associated red-tape is avoided and, if the quality of the delivery falls, the relationship can easily be terminated.  It is therefore in this way that I intend to offer my services.

The following listing provides an extensive but by no means exhaustive list of the the ways in which I might be able to help.  The list is categorised for convenience.
