Life Hacks… circa 1995

Every now and then someone publishes a list of “life hacks” which are basically clever things you can do to help make your life a little simpler. Most of the time I find them pretty pointless because they’re obvious things anyone would figure out if they’d sit and consider the problem for a moment.

Today I stumbled across a list of life hacks from, oh, the turn of the century or so. Here are the ones that made me laugh:

Every morning, the Zing team gets together for a “standup” meeting where we review our projects and make sure things are on track. Since we work at home on Fridays, we all join a video call on Google Hangouts for the meeting.

Today Nick showed up in a cowboy hat and… well, maybe nothing else.

Well played, Nick. April Fool’s.
