		<description>In my own explorations I am finding a greater and greater correlation between core principles across disciplines.  In otherwords, there is a physics to life.  And everything in life is a tool that obeys physics.

A tool can be a philosophy, yourself, a method, an object, a location or an event.  The interesting thing is they all adhere to the same physics.

There is a physics to people.  That&#039;s what John Nash believed and the evidence corroborates with this.

Learn the physics and you will learn the secret to a smooth life.</description>

		<description>@Damon:

I think a lot of the people here are building their own blogs and entering into the blogging community. To you it may look like they are just frittering away hours commenting on blogs. However there is a level of engagement beyond the surface.

Besides, what is wrong with frittering away hours commenting on blogs if that is what somebody wants to do?

Personally, I&#039;m out there working a real job, building my internet empire and leading my life before I go commenting on blogs. But this is one of my &quot;down time&quot; activites, thanks.</description>

		<description>@Dot:

Exactly!! When an above poster said something akin to &quot;wouldn&#039;t it be cool to invent something to vacuum your house while you were away?&quot; (paraphrase of how I read it), I thought. That &quot;technology&quot; has been around for hundreds of years. Just hire yourself a cleaning service.

OK, I aspire to hire a cleaning service. It would change my life. However I refrain so I can save the money and fire my boss quicker. But it&#039;s on my Long-term goals list.

All this inventing is great, but I think part of the DIY credo is looking around to see what you can do with what you&#039;ve already got. I don&#039;t really NEED a new gadget to tell me when something is due. My handy pocket sized (paper) day-planner and a pencil can achieve that with no problem! No batteries needed! (can I be the stone-age ninja?)

Now -- I&#039;m not knocking getting all techy. I&#039;m just saying. Look around you. Is your problem really one you need another techno-gadget to solve, or is there a simpler solution.</description>

		<description>To me, all those technology things are computer hacks.  A life hack is a maid.  ;-)  The confusion arose because at first all the people writing about hacks were programmers and they thought technology could solve it all.</description>

		<description>I spend two hours a week just talking with a group of people with mood disorders:  Depression, Bipolar, Schizophrenia.  And I see an encouraging trend.  These people are recognizing that they are not simply dealing with chemical illness.  They are also realizing that they are dealing with unresolved psychological illness.  A psychiatrist may help with the chemical imbalance, but to them everything is a chemical imbalance.  Counselors may help with the psychological illness, but to them everything is a psychological illness.  The people with the illnesses themselves are recognizing the line between the two and discovering where the psychiatry ends and the psychology begins and helping one another to resolve these problems through self-help in a community where there is a shortage of both psychiatrists and psychologists.

Sitting here and blogging or writing blog responses is great to a point, however DIY life involves going out and being a social creature not improving your interaction with a personal computer.  Even turning off your cell phone makes you more human in a social setting.  In the same way we talk about anti-hacking we should be talking about dis-connectedness as a desirable state of mind and socialization.  Personally, I have my best insights into my database design work when I disconnect from work for a few weeks and digest the deluge of information I have been consuming.  It&#039;s the same with physical training.  You train for an extended period and then take time off to allow your body to physically peak before you enter competition.  Disconnection enables mental correlation and physical correlation--the ability to decipher pattern.</description>

		<description>more than a little curious as to how many folks are truly living their lives or taking new vanity shots of themselves and posting responses for hours on blogs like this.

No offense to Clay. I think he&#039;s got a gift in both writing and insight, but I&#039;ve seen the same lurkrrs just spinning their wheels in blog responses and talking about how they&#039;re living their life to the fullest and proving how edgy they are.

Sorry if I come off a little harsh. I would love to see more people giving meaningfully, measurably and sincerely to society rather than just being so self-focused.  If people just spent a tenth of the time they spend cruising blogs on providing a service where they actually sacrifice their time (not money) helping others, we would have a huge swell of life improvements that would be noticed and would gather even more people willing to help.

Clay, thanks for the blog.  I read an article about once a month and they don&#039;t fail to disappoint.  But I would probably be careful with statements like... &quot;even if you&#039;re religious and you think you&#039;ve found the answer . . . you&#039;re hopefully still thinking for yourself&quot;  You don&#039;t mean to imply that theists at any time lose their ability or will to think do you? Many of us  believe in God because that is where logical thinking and verifiable facts have led us.  I might be tempted to say &quot;even if you&#039;re agnostic or atheistic, and you think you&#039;ve found the answer, you&#039;re hopefully still thinking for yourself&quot;.  Kinda like a slap in the face, huh?</description>

		<description>For the most part, living life is, just as you contended, hacking life.  Unless you&#039;re totally stagnant and never making any attempt to progress, you&#039;re a lifehacker.

I like the idea of lifehacking a la &quot;doing more with less&quot; for the sake of derailing the consumerist mentality of our society, to try to reduce the amount of waste generated, and to just have a more streamlined lifestyle.  Life can be complicated enough - why make it more so?</description>

		<description>Everyone needs to be reminded that they can make changes to their lives. We forget sometimes or even up that power and blame others instead of taking responsibility.</description>
