Last week we upgraded your office, and on today's episode of Lifehacker, we're taking the day off. We're stepping a little outside of our normal routine and tackling a few tips and tricks for tweaking your time off.
On this week's episode, we're taking a look at:
- Finding north without a compass.
- Turning your XBMC media center into a video game console
- If we can start a fire with a can of soda and some chocolate
- Setting up SNES on your iPad
- Breathing new life into old boardgames (without spending a ton to do it).
- A quick method for testing the doneness of a steak.
We've been incorporating more original video with our posts in the past year, but the Lifehacker show represents a fun new supplement to the site. It doesn't replace what we do here every day, but our hope is that it will offer a new perspective on a few of our favorite tips. We're new at this whole video thing, and we're eager to hear your feedback. As a group of writers, we're not always the most dynamic on screen, but we're learning. Give it a watch and let us know what you think!
Grab it in any format you like: If you don't want to watch it in your browser right now, you can catch the show wherever you want, and in nearly whatever format you like. Visit the episode page on Revision3 to download HD or phone-friendly versions of the show in MP4 or WMV. You can also subscribe in iTunes or via RSS.
