LifeHacker

Dana and I were shopping this week-end at one of the local mega-chain bookstores and I purchased a copy of Lifehacker: 88 tech tricks to turbocharge your day. I must say, it's been an interesting read so far, and two of the hacks I have read and started using more than justify the purchase price. You can also visit the Lifehacker website for daily updates and additional info that is provided for free.

I've started asking myself the question "But What Good Is It" when I think of technology and things I'm using in my business. Dana asked me this question a few years ago before I purchased something and now that I've started reading this book, I'm haunted by her simple question. I think I'll weigh my technology decisions against this simple question in the future. Sure, some technologies take time to mature and gain acceptance, but if you can pace yourself and limit yourself to a few technologies a year, you can still keep up and live a very happy, less cluttered life. With all of the hyperlinks in cyber space, it's easy to get caught up in all the excitement.
