Can You Become a Creature of New Habits? - New York Times - “The small steps in kaizen don’t set off ﬁght or ﬂight, but rather keep us in the thinking brain, where we have access to our creativity and playfulness.”
How to answer the people who think you’re nuts? - “I’ve been doing a lot of radio interviews and I turn into a self-righteous bore when the host inevitably asks, ‘How could you let your son take the subway alone?’”
Dear Shaun, at bluishorange - “My writing is not some fragile vase that is going to shatter the second I split an inﬁnitive…” [via mathowie]
Clutterers Anonymous dot Net - “Clutter is anything we don’t need, want, or use that takes our time, energy or space, and destroys our serenity.”
Spark 35: Your Digital Legacy - I’ll be a regular contributor to the CBC’s wonderful Spark (podcast). My ﬁrst segment with Nora Young is on the basics of backup. (Hint: Next Christmas, send Uncle Joe a DVD with those hard-copy photos)
TwitterSnooze! v0.13 - “TwitterSnooze is inspired by a Merlin Mann post and was written by Andrew Parker.” Yay, nice!
I think silent “snoozing” should be part of every social app. Warning, though; if your snoozed friend is the brittle type, note that re-following them will generate an email that gives you away. Caveat Twittor. [via del/andrewdparker]
