I bet that 300D (W123) in the picture isn't costing a thing.

I think an easy personal test is to give up "lifehacking" for a month (or some time period) and then evaluate if you are worse off or less effective/efficient/etc. I know personally I have been giving up certain information streams and have found most of them are pretty inconsequential.

Now I see why Chris Anderson talks about having a drone record you while kite surfing. Just follow a transponder around, and if you are super cleaver, change patterns based on changes in velocity.

Very Warby Parker-esque.

I think an RSS Reader mobile app battle is shaping up. Newsblur v Digg v ....

So off topic, but this man lives where the best ribs in the world can be had, at Leatha's.

Because it is awesome.

Hoppin' Johns is pretty cheap (if you make your own stocks) and amazingly good, but really any bean/pea and rice is good food along with some cornbread. Variations on this concept are prevalent across the world (bean+grain in broth with side of corn/bread). My favorite throughout the winter is collards and cornbread.

Maybe not as good as interviewing a recent MD graduate, but last fall Wired did a nice piece that had an infographic plotting evidence versus efficacy. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2… So of course Vit D is still great, but you can see where the multivitamin falls in the efficacy column.

A similar but not overseas option would be this Kickstarter, AL13 Premium UltraThin Aerospace Aluminium Bumper.

I really do think Hudson Hawk should get credited somewhere for the clockless timer concept.

For my personal computer, which doesn't require as many specialized programs and is used more for things like pictures/videos and communication, I like my MBP. The unix base make it seem super quick all the time and the basic power settings means the battery on my laptop last pretty long (and of course the hardware is…

Thanks for thinking of Clive Thompson. I typically enjoy his pieces in Wired and think he is pretty insightful. My favorite part was that he figures out ways to disengage from the hourly/daily/weekly news cycle. No offense LH, but if I could bring myself to do this with you I am sure I would be more productive. I have…

I have been struck lately how there are many fields where this sort of move forward and fix it later mentality doesn't actually work. I heard this mentality mentioned as the reason Ron Johnson failed with JCPenny, and I can definitely see how it doesn't apply to science/research either. In other words, there are times…

I didn't want to re-post this (your piece above), but this 99u post made me go back and create a desktop shortcut with the direct compose URL. Thanks.

Is this going to stay free? I tend to be leery of free apps that handle so much personal info.

Alan, you beat me to this topic. I was just about to share my favorite videos for breaking down a chicken over on hackerspace. A huge resource I don't know if you have been watching is Martha Stewart's Cooking School. Pretty basic, but the things I have learned have been amazing (for instance, how to cook an egg every…
