I got the idea for outsourcing from A. J. Jacobs’ “The Guinea Pig Diaries – My Life as an Experiment.” In one of the chapters (“My Outsourced Life”) he hired a team in Bangalore, India to take care of just about everything.

Sounds good on paper, but I wonder how it would work out for folks like us.
