Introduction
Hello, my name is Robert Williams, a common enough name that you'll
find 4 or 5 of us in any phone book thicker than your thumb.
However, you'll find that I am an uncommon person, and the
better you get to know me, the more uncommon I am.
You see, unlike many of today's young tyros and hotshot whatevers, I
like to do lots of different things. I've done even more,
some of which I'd rather not do any more. Since I like to do these
things, I can do for/with you or somebody you know
who needs them done/wants to do them. (I can write simple
sentences too, but that wasn't one of them.)
So without further ado, here's a list of things I can do for you.
- Build a web
site using Web2.0 concepts, or Feng Shui yours. Flash is for
wimps.
- Setup and manage your virtual office. I get kudos for this work
- Write software applications. Yes I have a resume, but that's so-o-o boring.
- Fix, disinfect and make reasonably secure your computer or network.
- I know a little about Waldorf/Steiner
and home schooling while traveling.
- Speaking of travel, our family traveled around the world.
Wrote a blog
about it. A book is in the works.
- Find you a (whatever you're needing), usually for
less than you think.
- I've been known to drive a MuteAnt.
- Sail a boat
- I'm a sought after tactician/navigator on sailboats from
Angela McFarland's 17 foot Thistle to Steve Randers 70 foot 'Rage'
.
- Teach sailing skills from dinghy racing to coastal
cruising.
- Build a geodesic
dome, and lived
in two for most of a year.
- Build a work/tool shed
- Prune/remove a tree.
- Manage facilities for an outdoor marketing event
(like Corvallis
Fall Festival) or school
- Build a compost pile (biodynamic
if you like)
- Make and repair wooden furniture.
- (re)design a kitchen or other living space.
- Are your kitchen knives sharp? I can help.
- While I like going for walks, biking is my preferred
transport. Yep, I can fix bikes too.
- I have lots of friends who know how to do things I don't.
- I can pick and shovel too Lord Lord, I can pick and shovel too!
That reminds me, I like
rules of thumb. Like the one that says when a
sailboat mast is the height of your thumbnail with your arm
outstretched, it's a quarter mile away. But I'm not all
thumbs.

Yes Harry Belafonte is
one of my favored singers. No that doesn't date me, I like
Grace Slick and Sting too. Maybe even a little Green Day.
