43f Links for May 7th
Merlin Mann | May 7 2008
- 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]
