Check out David Gray's drawing of the 'Lifehacker's Dilemma.' (Better treatment of lifehacking here.) Hipster-therapeutic blogger Merlin Mann says Gray 'sums it all up nicely.' Oddly enough, I don't think he's being ironic. And I don't think the cartoon was intended to take the piss. Weird.
Merlin - a person who refers to himself by any derivation of the word 'hacker' and yet whose life consists entirely of consuming trendy 'geek' media and changing the desktop background on his G5, is...is...I'm trying to be diplomatic here...
How can I put this? Near as I can tell the only thing worse for the soul than living that life is thinking it's really cool and apparently being Best Buds Ever with other fucking people who manage against all evolutionary pressures to think the same thing. N'est totally pas?
