this is where I'm going


I can't wait to do nothing for a week, apart from taking a few pictures, i'm like those japanese tourists that cant enjoy stuff unless they photograph it, oh well.

Life Hacking - eh?

In keeping with the philosophy - ive copied this from a life hacking blog


What will life hacking do for me?

Productivity is within your grasp! Using life hacking tips, you can compress the activities of your daily life into less time, freeing up untold hours to spend reading life-hacking blogs, which in turn will allow you to compress your activities further, freeing up more time to read about life hacking, and so forth. Eventually, and with proper dedication, your life will be condensed into a productivity singularity, an activity so dense that fun cannot escape.

Yeah, OK, but I was looking for something more than a new word for my current slovenly habits. Can I get some actual tips here?

Sure, popular life-hacking blogs include the aforementioned lifehacker.com, 43folders.com, and our own howto.wired.com.

That doesn't sound so bad. That will give me a lot of time to do the things I enjoy, won't it?

That's the problem. Once your reach that point you'll be compelled to life hack even the things you enjoy. Do you like the zoo? Say goodbye to leisurely afternoons wandering from tamarin to tortoise. Once you reach the life-hacking event horizon, you'll be plotting combinatorially optimized zoo routes to maximize exposure to infant vertebrates while minimizing exposure to ecological screeds about endangered wetlands.
