7 Things This Week [#152]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Monday (this time). Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ If you read my site, I think there’s a good chance that you also listen to a Relay podcast. They just celebrated 10 years as a network, and this is a touching short film about the hosts and community during their 10th anniversary live show in London. [🔗 _IanOfEarth // youtube.com]
2️⃣ Everyone was right, the Twenty Thousand Hertz episodes exploring Apple’s iconic sound design are excellent. [🔗 The Sound of Apple // 20k.org]
3️⃣ Joshua Grady has a great tip for keeping web apps on your phone without needing to keep their icons on your Home Screen. [🔗 @joshuagrady // social.lol]
4️⃣ Yikes. Prepare yourself for the photorealistic AI generation revolution that’s coming. [🔗 @chriswelch // threads.net]
5️⃣ The thing that kept sticking out to me during this amazing video about the GameBoy’s engineering is that their pursuit of making it affordable led to it being more efficient, and vice versa. [🔗 Real Engineering // youtube.com]
6️⃣ I expect I’ll have more to say about it soon, but I’ve been binging through The Sharp End Podcast. One episode per month details with survivors of climbing accidents. They discuss what happened and what they’d do differently. I already consider it required listening for mountain go-ers. [🔗 Ashley // thesharpendpodcast.com]
7️⃣ I doubt I’ll ever tire of watching people pursue things at the ragged edge of their ability and come out on top. Tradprincess works an absolutely wicked looking roof crack, one that’s only been sent by a few very elite climbers. [🔗 Tradprincess // youtube.com]
