A Geekish View of Life

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.

• 10 Commandments of Public Photograhy
• Worst Foods in America
• Adventures in Rechargeable Batteries 

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!

Documenting the build of one of the coolest devices in some time. Damn but I wanna make one too.

On my way back to work from lunch I saw something … unique.  I saw a new Toyota Camry with the license plate of THACO.  Without any reference my first thought is Nerrrrrrrrrd!  But then I was struck by the thought … Which is nerdier?  The nerd who puts THACO on a license plate or the nerd who sees T. H. A. C. 0. 
I’m not sure I want to know the answer.
