I like to be up on the newest technology, even if it’s just a twinkle in some lonely inventor’s eye. But most gadgets are pretty frivolous. They’re way too expensive and impractical. They usually sound cool at first, but then the novelty wears off and you have an expensive paperweight that isn’t even used as one. How windy does your office get, anyway?
That’s where Life Hacker comes in. It’s chock full of tips and tricks to speed up your web browser or your compy, get rid of spyware, download files faster, and how to donate your old cell phones.

Anyway, the site’s been officially live since Monday, but their archives contain posts from more than a week ago. I’m sure they’ve got more cool stuff lined up.
