2 must read posts from Lifehacker

One of my favorite sites on the web is Life­hacker. If you do not have it in your favorites, put it there. Bet­ter yet, sub­scribe to the RSS feed. Either way Life­hacker is a great place to find geeky tools to make life bet­ter. There are two recent arti­cles that I would like to men­tion, because of their use­ful­ness. The first is the Geek to Live: Best Apps of 2005. This arti­cle has links and sum­maries about some of the best tools that have recently been made avail­able. The list includes Mozilla Fire­fox, G-mail, Blog­lines, Yahoo Wid­gets, Google Maps, Google Earth, del.icio.us, itunes, and more… I found that I am using all of these appli­ca­tions in some form or fash­ion, and pretty much love them all. All of these appli­ca­tions are excel­lent, and some­what widely known, which brings me to the next great Life­hacker post, the Top Under­rated Apps of 2005. This list has such great appli­ca­tions as Yahoo Cal­en­dar, GTD Tid­dly­Wiki, Pow­er­Toys for Win­dows, Picasa, among oth­ers. Both posts are great read­ing and can pro­vide you with infor­ma­tion about many great tools you can use to make your life eas­ier. Oth­ers that I would add would be Back­pack and TaDa List from 37Signals, of course Word­Press, blog­ger, and Pan­dora. One recent dis­cover I made was the abil­ity to sync Yahoo Cal­en­dar with Out­look through Yahoo’s intel­li­sync tool, mak­ing my Out­look portable. That was a huge find for me. I intend to elab­o­rate on ways I use these and other tools in future posts. I am curi­ous to know which of these tools, if any, are you using? Addi­tion­ally, what oth­ers should have made the cut? Voice your opin­ion with a com­ment.
