Robert Scoble at Scobleizer has a great post on a great new book for 2007 — Gina Trapani’s LifeHacker book. He calls it the owners manual for the always on, always connected person.
What is the book called? Lifehacker: 88 Tech Tricks to Turbocharge Your Day. In today’s “always connected, deliver everything to me electronically” world, it lays out 88 tips for being more productive, looking at how you use technology and improving it, and how to use your computer, IPOD, flash drive and other technology to their fullest extent. I like the dozen ways she shows how to sort through the dizzying array of technlogy that you are exposed to everyday:
- Hack 3: Develop your digital photographic memory
- Hack 8: Permanently block time-wasting Web sites
- Hack 20: Automatically empty your digital junk drawer
- Hack 30: Send and receive money on your cell phone
- Hack 34: Carry your life on a flash drive
- Hack 40: Back up data to your iPod
- Hack 50: Script repetitive e-mail responses
- Hack 56: Securely track your passwords
- Hack 63: Quick-log your work day
- Hack 76: Take your browser configuration with you
- Hack 79: Capture Web clippings with Google Notebook
- Hack 87: Resurrect deleted files
