Lifehacker.com: Google Tips and Toolbox

Wednesday, July 04, 2007

Hey guys, recently I have been frequently checking out this site called lifehacker.com. (And by frequently I mean everyday since I subscribed to it in my RSS reader!) In addition almost 400,000 people visit their site everyday because the tips they give out are awesome and so helpful. It is a site about how to be more productive using technology and specifically they have done an great job getting the Google tips out so I'd like to share some of my favorites with you. Their motto is Don't live to geek; geek to live which is pretty good advice for an aspiring geek like myself.


Happy 4th of July!
-Mike

Oh my gosh, dude, you are a geek. The fact that you can even fit so many links into one blog post boggles the mind. I feel like this may be a handy reference, rather than something to read all at once; or perhaps I'll never look at it again. I hope it helps someone.

I enjoyed hanging out with you today. Happy America-is-great Day.
