Many valuable tips and tricks on making the most of your time & life using technology. I love the passion that Ms. Trapani brings into all her work. Could you get the same info off of the website? Yes, but it could take much time and effort to find it all. And that is what the book is all about ... saving you time! I purchased the Kiddle edition first for my iPod Touch, then bought the paperback edition (guess I'm old school and enjoy the tactile sense of holding a book and underlining in it!). ( )

This is a great book. I came away with so many ideas on how to be more productive. Most of the tricks discussed are cross-platform which means you are shown how to use it in Windows and on the Mac.

Below are some of the hacks that have helped me:

* Hack 18: Automatically backup your files
* Hack 29: Batch resize photos
* Hack 34: Carry your life on a flash drive
* Hack 42: Use GMail as an Internet hard drive
* Hack 52: Organize My Documents
* Hack 61: Setup a morning dash
* Hack 71: Extend your web browser
* Hack 72: Get 10 must have bookmarklets

This book is also a perfect companion to the Lifehacker website. It will stay on my shelf for a long time to come.

A pretty fun read in the Productivity Porn genre.

I really like the todo.txt idea. I tried it out using Amazon's S3, but found that the webdav mounted S3 share would freak out. So, I wrote my own (heavier duty, but more customizable) todo.txt command line script that talks to a webapp.

I found much of the advice to be windows and mac-centric. This is a bummer since I'm a Linux guy. ( )

A great introduction to life hacking or bending the power of the internet and your computer to your productive will. Check out lifehacker.com for further reasons to dip into this book. ( )

Nothing special. Could occasionally come in handy as reference when you're offline, but really, the website (lifehacker.com) covers this stuff; certainly don't need to the buy the book. ( )
