Favored Links for October 18th
- Writing - Cooking - Life » Blog Archive » I Heart Zappos - “Big and lush and fragrant. I opened the card, and it was from Zappos.” What a lovely story. I’m a huge customer service nerd, and this one really got me. [via: Waxy.org]
- I can not use my vacation responder [Gmail] - This workaround fixed a problem I’d been having for days with Gmail’s vacation responder. My only addition? First change the language to something like “English (UK)”, make the noted change, then switch back to “US” after it’s working. Weird-ass bug.
- How to Clean a Water Dispenser - wikiHow - Mine was turning orange inside. Which, upon reflection, seems kind of unhygienic.
- How to control ones ADHD | Ask MetaFilter - “Are there any natural NON PRESCRIPTION drugs or techniques to help and develop my ability to focus?”
- Motivation - While “Motivation” is still my favorite, I’ll admit that my careful plan for paternity leave is starting to unintentionally look a lot like “Apathy.”
- Martha Mitchell effect - “The Martha Mitchell effect is the process by which a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other mental health clinician mistakes the patient’s perception of real events as delusional and misdiagnoses accordingly.” I’ll bet psychologists hate it when their patients learn about this.
- iPhone Nextbus - SF MUNI riders: so far this is my favorite iPhone NextBus app I’ve seen [thanks, Nelson]
- Best. Day. Ever. - The always-wonderful Oliver Sacks’ wikipedia entry shows him wearing my favorite Mule shirt. Made my week. ♥ Dr. Sacks. Catch him on this 2006 Radio Lab episode.
