7 Things This Week [#167]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ Jamie Thingelstad is getting more into the Shortcuts game with tools for a Micro.blog feature that he really enjoys: Collections. His latest shortcut provides an export option in case one ever moves away from Micro.blog. It builds out a JSON object with each Collection and the photos they hold. [🔗 thingelstad.com]
2️⃣ This collection of photos that Devin S. shot of public transit stations are stunning. They make me want to visit every single spot. [🔗 glass.photo] (Via Nick Heer)
3️⃣ I’m so happy for Simon Støvring and the success of his Festivitas app. He’s even had a business reach out for a custom version to hang their logo on their work Macs’ desktops. [🦣 mastodon.social]
4️⃣ Curious what the various beeps and boops mean when they’re emitting from your AirPods? This site’s got you covered. [🔊 airpodnoises.net] (Via (and inspired by) ATP)
5️⃣ I never play our current Switch, but Nintendo’s reveal video for the Switch 2 is so good that it’s left me wanting. I love a good hardware reveal. [▶️ youtube.com]
6️⃣ I’m on a Severance kick, so I have to recommend this interview with Adam Scott and Ben Stiller about the launch into Season 2 by Shiite Basu on Apple News In Conversation. You can tell she loves the show and guided the conversation very well. [🎙️ overcast.fm]
7️⃣ Our dog has a tendency to shut himself in the bathroom and then freak out because he’s stuck. We tried a weighted bean bag to hold the door open, but he just pushed it out of the way. But these doorstops have been perfect. Easy to install and easy to use, I highly recommend them if you have a similar issue. [🛍️ amazon.com]
