7 Things This Week [#163]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays Monday. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ Ryan Christoffel points out a couple of handy new features for managing audio volume on your iPhone and iPad. [🔗 9to5mac.com]
2️⃣ As if getting pregnant in the U.S. wasn’t dangerous enough, here’s a sobering fact: “When women under age 25 get pregnant, their odds of death by homicide more than double.” [🔗 nytimes.com]
3️⃣ Stephen Hackett’s collection of Genmoji he’s made are quite good. [🔗 512pixels.net]
4️⃣ John Gruber nailed it in this piece laying out why journalism publication owners need to care about journalism, and why that means Jeff Bezos needs to sell The Washington Post. [🔗 daringfireball.net]
5️⃣ In the same vein, Manton Reece shared well-considered thoughts on where he stands regarding WordPress vs. WP Engine. Thoughtful, as always. [🔗 manton.org]
6️⃣ Matthew Smith’s choose-your-own-About-page-length slider is super cool. I’ll have to file this idea away for later. [🔗 matthewsmith.website]
7️⃣ ScreenCred is a cool app I just found from Sam Warnick that lets you easily compare the cast and crew of two works. I found out that Liz from Shrinking also served as a Music Supervisor for both that show and Ted Lasso. And it integrates with Callsheet. Good stuff! [🔗 apps.apple.com]
