September 2026 blend of links
Some links don’t call for a full blog post, but sometimes I still want to share the good stuff I encounter on the web.
❧
Talking Watches: Pusha T On Why Rolex Is Worth The Wait – Let’s be real, I’m sharing this video mostly for the perfect coffee brand name Pusha T is launching with Lavazza (and promoting in this video). Bonus points if you guessed it.
Repairing a 100-Year-Old Camera – Beware, this video will take 60 minutes of your time, and you won’t get those precious minutes back. (via Anthony Nelzin-Santos)
Lucky Notes – I recently wrote about this little app, but it deserves a spot in this series. If you were wondering what the cutest notes app is, there you go.

One Day on Rails – Pretty quiet until four in the morning, then captivating. (via 82MHz)
100 unusual crisp flavours, ranked – Now, this is unexpectedly complex investigative journalism.
Why Am I Left-Handed? – “Sometime after the emergence of the genus Homo, 2.8 million years ago, evolution coded a preference for right over left.
