I started writing this week’s late night links post a little while ago but my computer did the whole “blue screen of death” thing and I lost it. Hopefully this doesn’t become a Windows 10 trend. We’ll see. Anyway…

• Happy 20th Birthday, Windows 95
• Blackberry Passport Sports Android in Demo Video
  I’d get one of these. Or more accurately, I’d let work get me one of these.
• A Trip to Ikea is Going to Make This Girl Regret Moving In with Her Pun-Master Boyfriend
• Vysor Purs Your Android Device’s Screen On Your Desktop
  This could be useful.
• This Motorcycle Race’s Cameraman Still Gets Some On-the-Job Nerves

  For some reason this week lots of local content showed up on the global sites in my reading list this week. It’s kind of pleasing, for some reason.
• Intagram No Longer Thinks It’s Hip to be Square
• Des Moines School District Welcome Back FlashMob
  This is actually kind of awesome.

And that’s it for another week. Until next time, internet.

It’s Sunday night. You all know the drill by now.

• Google’s Next Version of Android is Called “Marshmallow”

• Guy Saves Canadian Tire Money for 15 Years and Buys…
• SmartThings Support is Coming to Amazon Echo

  This is going to be useful to me for sure.
• Don’t Be Apple
  I completely agree with this, although I wouldn’t have been able to articulate it quite so well I suspect.
• The Ashley Madison Hack Should Scare You, Too
  Another interesting read!
• Hands-On With Ford’s Sync 3
• Life with the Dash Button: Good Design for Amazon, Bad for Everyone Else
  And yet more interesting reading! Although there’s also this in the news this week to consider.

And we’re all done! That was a lot to get through (apparently it’s been an exciting week on my reading liust), so I suggest everyone take the week off and I’ll see you next Sunday.

It’s late night links time again, folks!

It’s a holiday weekend here so tradition dictates I be a day late with late night links, and who am I to mess with tradition like that.
