Danny O’Brian’s coinage of “life hack” is the word that launched a thousand sites. The phrase that started in 2004 at E-tech has spawned into hundreds, thousands, of sites with more 8 item lists or alternative uses for avocados and while I and everyone I know should learn how to cure warts with wet noodles, or “25 things to make your comebacks snappier”, are they really life hacks?

This site and accompanying podcast will not give you “14 secrets to make sure the maitre de isn’t a douche”, or another way to file your manila folders, but instead be a “meta life hack”.
