7 Things This Week [#169]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ I might have found my next backpacking stove system in the MSR Switch! [▶️ youtube.com]
2️⃣ I really enjoyed this thread where prominent creators pass the “blame” of discovering and recommending a cool tech product which led to it getting back ordered. 🤣 [🦣 mastodon.social]
3️⃣ Sara Bareilles continues to impress with this powerful performance of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. [▶️ youtube.com]
4️⃣ I can’t decide which is more impressive in this Wicked performance for NPR Tiny Desk: the absolute vocal control of the singers, or the effortlessly dancing fingers of the pianist. Both are astounding and captivating! [▶️ youtube.com]
5️⃣ @rafa showed off some really cool stuff he’s made with his 3D printer in this thread. I particularly like the custom magnetic weekly calendar for his kid. [🦣 mastodon.design]
6️⃣ Vidit Bhargava is doing some astounding work on ambient computers for his thesis. Check out these threads for jaw-dropping examples. [🦣 mastodon.social]
7️⃣ Tim Hardwick shared a handy tip about using Siri with ChatGPT to generate images with DALL•E. You can even refine them in the Siri interface. It’s like Image Playground with better results! [🔗 macrumors.com]
