This blog is a gathering place for the weird tricks I’ve figured out to optimize my digital life using things like Apple iTunes, Pocket, Gmail, CSS, Javascript, PHP, MailGun, YouTube, Kayak, Flight Network, and more (ok, you can’t find hacks related to many of the above on the site just yet, but I have notes on them and the posts are coming).
A lot of the posts are here mostly so I can reference them in the future when I need to do that thing again, but if they seem like they could help you too, you are welcome to try them.
The solutions here aren’t necessarily easy, but they may be the best way to fill a gap where there isn’t a proper way to do that thing. If they were easy and proper they wouldn’t be hacks.
About the Author
I’m a web designer / developer living in London, Ontario, Canada, so these hacks for people who lack access to much U.S. digital-content, or struggle to find overnight street parking in Toronto, or are interested in clever uses of loops in PHP (as above, posts on these are coming).
In case you are wondering:
The website address uses a domain hack where the “.at” top level domain forms the “at” in “that”. The site is not called “A Hack Forth At”, though even I read it like that sometimes.
The logo is a roll of tape (the handyman’s secret weapon) that looks a little like a lowercase a.
