🍋 Issue #7 - This One Goes to Eleven
Welcome to issue #7!
I got caught up on all my Seattle area news and weather thanks to the dentist I visited this morning for a root canal having the local news channel on. What tv do you watch when getting your teeth adjusted?
On to the links!

Follow-up to issue #5 - the Twelve South HoverBar Duo is available from the Apple Store in Canada. Save on shipping and USD conversion, eh? Thanks to Teddy in Cassidy’s Discord community for the heads up.
As a fan of audio on the web, I enjoyed this article from Smashing Magazine on Making Use Of Audio. Interesting examples including Radio Garden (hear radio around the world on a globe), oral histories of World War 2, and Netflix’s Dark.
New music from one of my fav bands: Gang of Youths releases “the angel of 8th ave.” single.
Jon Stewart has thoughts on the corona virus - part 1 & part 2.
Microsoft is planning to announce Windows 11 shortly. Thanks to a leak, you can get a preview of it now if you want. Spoiler: Start button is moving, and they’ve rounded some of the corners.
Imagine wiping $4 billion dollars of a corporation’s value out by simply choosing water over Coke. Cristiano Ronaldo managed to do that in less than 30 seconds at a Euro 2020 press conference. /via Airbag Industries
Google Maps is amazing, but I hadn’t thought of it as a historical record because it still feels “new” - follow this Twitter thread to see people finding pictures of loved ones who’ve passed away on Google Maps street view as a way of remembering them.
Podcasting Thought Things
83% of respondents are interesting in getting company news via podcasts, and 78% would like to hear from company leadership via internal podcasts. Is your boss forcing you to listen to subscribe to their podcast?
Picture of the Week
Is it a video game or a sportscast?
Spoiler: It’s a video game. My son and I have been recreating the NHL hockey playoffs in NHL ‘21 on our Xbox. This may be the last year where I can reliably beat him. 😱
That’s it for this week!
