Gina's new book (Lifehacker: 88 Tech Tricks to Turbocharge Your Day) will be available Monday, Dec 18th. Congrats Gina!

If you've ever read lifehacker.com, you know how good this book is going to be. As a coworker said the other day, "I like lifehacker. I really get the impression that she's trying to to help me."

It is December again, and the War on Christmas is in full swing. This year we have a new recruit in our home. It's still unclear whether she will fall helplessly on the side of candy, shiny decorations, adorned trees, cheer, holiday feasts and heaps of presents filled with toys, or will she help her embittered father fight against holiday oppression and smash the popcorn chains of tyranny.

Cast off your Santa hat of ignorance, and unburden yourself from the weight of stale, mail order, fruit cakes. Join me on the 25th as I dine on the chinese food of rebellion and queue in the movie lines of freedom.
