7 Things This Week [#180]

A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.


1️⃣ Jamie Thingelstad got a Messages-like style going on his website for chat-like blog posts and I love it. thingelstad.com

2️⃣ You don’t have to know anything about the Cortex Podcast to enjoy this hilarious animated short of their homescreen walkthrough. youtube.com

3️⃣ Passkeys are about to get even better with less lock-in when iOS 26 ships. They’re introducing a new way for credential managers to securely transfer the data for passkeys back and forth without the opportunity for man-in-the-middle attacks. Good stuff. hachyderm.io

4️⃣ Apple is milking Severance for all it’s worth and I love it. They’ve got Natalie in for a Fitness+ workout with Coach Kym P. and this promo video is spot on. instagram.com

5️⃣ Greg Morris has found enjoyment, success, and speed in running slow. gregmorris.co.uk

6️⃣ Manuel Moreale speaks emphatically about why blogs continue to matter in his marking of the 100th issue of his People & Blogs series. manuelmoreale.com

7️⃣ Seeing this tire roll down a sand dune for minutes is one of my favorite things I’ve watched in a while. It’s weirdly beautiful. youtube.com
