Welcome to the first late night links of December! Yay! Christmas is nearly here, and so is our trip to NYC for NYE! But that stuff will have to wait, we have internet junk to get through first…

- Meet Paul
- Pause Problems
- In a Meeting

- Post-It Prank
And we’re done for another week! Goodnight all.
