7 Things This Week [#110]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ Hilarious new animations by The Oatmeal. [🔗 theoatmeal.com]
2️⃣ If you’re wondering just how widespread climbing gyms have gotten… [🔗 @climbing_castle // instagram.com]
3️⃣ This trailer for the new Thwip app by Rafael Conde is up there with the best I’ve ever seen. The app is super fun and well-designed too. [🔗 @rafa // mastodon.design]
4️⃣ “Cheapest flagship iPhone since the original” would be quite a statement, and yet it’s true about the iPhone 15 Pro. I’m almost surprised that Apple didn’t tout it themselves. [🔗 Wally Nowinski // perfectrec.com]
5️⃣ Over at The Brooks Review, I’ve really enjoyed their recent posts on their recommendations for getting a collection of a particular kind of item. They’ve got articles for knives, flashlights, bags, and watches — so, nerd fodder — with separate collections for budget, mid, and luxury pricing. What a neat idea. (The luxury watch collection will only run you a paltry $100,000 😎) [🔗 Ben Brooks // brooksreview.net]
6️⃣ It’s not just me! There’s math behind the right way to tie your shoes! [🔗 Ethan Siegel // bigthink.com]
7️⃣ Okay, look at these colors, artificially saturated by Basic Apple Guy, of the new iPhone 15 and tell me they don’t look way better than the faded, barely-there colors that Apple went with this year. [🔗 @BasicAppleGuy // mastodon.social]
