7 Things This Week [#170]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ This retro M4 Mac Mini design from ColorWare looks hella good. [🔗 9to5mac.com]
2️⃣ Here’s a Steve Jobs interview that I hadn’t seen before in which he predicts modern streaming services, reiterates Apple’s commitment to building the best products and making a profit only to serve that key goal, and proposes a fascinating idea of everyone donating their extra WiFi bandwidth to create a faster/stronger nationwide wireless service. What a visionary and compelling communicator he was. [▶️ youtube.com] (Via Numeric Citizen)
3️⃣ Matt Birchler’s not the only one who gets satisfaction from seeing computers work through complex tasks. 🙋♂️ [🔗 birchtree.me]
4️⃣ This trailer for Friendship with Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd looks like an SNL sketch, but no, it’ll be an A24 film! Wild! [▶️ youtube.com] (Via Matt Birchler)
5️⃣ Jason Kottke linked to an 8-hour remix of the Severance theme that I’m totally gonna save. There’s also a link to a Macrodata Refinement “game”. Scary numbers, indeed. [🔗 kottke.org]
6️⃣ Lou Plummer shared some thoughts on his cycling days of participating in races and exploring new places. [🔗 amerpie.lol]
7️⃣ This app will encourage you to use your phone less… by having you use your phone to verify an image of your hand literally touching grass. I love the whimsical idea, but it’s still a bit…hypocritical? Also, gonna be tricky to use for about a third of the year here in upstate New York. ❄️ [🔗 apps.apple.com] (Via Brendan Bigley)
