7 Things This Week [#116]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ In case you, like me, have wanted to follow the The Verge’s QuickPosts in your RSS reader, Parker Ortolani pulled through with the elusive link. [🔗 @parkerortolani // threads.net]
2️⃣ If you want your day to be ruined by lines that should line up but don’t, watch this visualization about the irrationality of pi. [🔗 @thechosenmortal // threads.net]
3️⃣ This chessboard doesn’t exist yet (it’s a crowdfunding project) but I hope they succeed because it looks amazing! Magically moving pieces, strategy help, and it spans digital and physical versions of the game. Go watch the promo video! [🔗 indiegogo.com]
4️⃣ I don’t care what anyone says; ‘Thai Food near me’ is a genius name for a restaurant. [🔗 Mia Sato // theverge.com]
5️⃣ I happened across this video of Taylor Swift singing “Blank Space” solo, and it’s a gem. Both the preamble and the performance are top-notch. [🔗 Taylor Swift // youtube.com]
6️⃣ Are you any good at Rock, Paper, Scissors? CGP Grey has set up an ingenious “competition” through a series of YouTube video breadcrumbs. Start here. [🔗 CGP Grey // youtube.com]
7️⃣ I’ve long been a Hailee Steinfeld fan, but I never realized it was her voice in this version of “Starving”. It’s been on repeat for me this week. Queued up next is her “Essentials” playlist on Apple Music. [🎤 Hailee Steinfeld // song.link]
