I am an insufferable geek, although my girlfriend tells me it’s cute.  I also have a long and abiding desire to get my crap together.  Through productivity guru Merlin Mann (yeah his name is really Merlin) I came across the idea of the “Life Hack” a way to shortcut the things in life that could be more efficent.  This also introduced me to the site LifeHacker.com [link]  The huge amount of life hacks there is like drinking from a fire hose.  Anyway here’s a few highlights that I came across while clearing out my RSS reader.

There is plenty more to be had there.  Go check it out, there are also tons of linux/windows/mac tips, trick, and small hacks too!
