It’s the first day of fall! But this random titbit of information is entirely besides the point, so here’s some links:

• Keep Your Meetings Short and On Task by Standing Up
  In contrast to last week’s meeting advice from Lifehacker (which was stupid) I’ve found this to be an excellent idea.

And we’re done for another week everyone! See you next Sunday.

We have a lot to get through here – it’s apparently been an especially productive week of dicking around on the internet.

And we’re done for another seven days! Until next time, Interweb friends.

It’s that time of the week again!

• The Research Grant Was Well Spent
• Everything You Need to Know About Rooting Your Android Phone
  Mine was previously rooted, but then I updated the software and now it’s unrooted again…

And we’re done! See you all next week, same time, same place.

Look at that! Even though it’s a holiday weekend and I’ve been out doing things with my day, I still remembered to put together a late night links post! I am justifiably proud of myself.

• One of Those Dumb Days
• The News Never Fails
• Use a Soda Cup Lid as a Coaster
  Who knew?

  The video it 15 minutes long, but it’s worth it. Trust me.

• The Circle of Life

And we’re done for another week! Have a great Labour Day (or Labor Day) tomorrow if such a thing exists in country of choice, and I’ll be back with more next week – same time, same place.

Welcome back! Here’s another concise summary of some of the excellent stuff I saw on the internet this week:

• There’s Cruel, and Then There’s Just Plain Sadistic
• AfterLogic WebMail Pro v7: The Future of Webmail-Frontsends
  Currently mail for my primary domain is supplied by Google, and mail for my website is supplied by Microsoft. But I’ve been toying with the idea of creating my own solution and this looks potentially good…
• These People Exist
  I try and avoid re-posting compilation posts that others have compiled in my own compilation post – it seems dumb (although I’m not against stealing one or two items someone else has included in a collection). But with this one I couldn’t decide which one or two items are the best.
• Canada & The United States: Bizarre Borders
• Too Little, Too Late
• Somewhere Evolution Took an Odd Turn
• Nokia Here Research Brings Map Data to Life
• Seriously People???
• Don’t Want Your Kids to Plug Something In?
  Genius
• Horse’s Top Ten Nutshot Countdown!
  My personal favourites are the balance beam, and the tire.
• Seven Free Add-Ins and Apps to Supercharge Microsoft Office
• What Happens When an Olympic Sprinter Plays Rugby?
• Attention
  It’s undeniably good advice.

And we’re done for this week! I’m going to get right back to reading junk on the web, and that way I’ll have more for you at the same time next week. For now though that was a lot to take in all in one go, so let’s all grab a five minute break.

Blah blah blah.

• Anger

  Well, I know what Charlie’s going to be for Halloween.

Blah done. Blah blah same time next week.

I have other things to do today, so let’s get this one out the way and move on:

• Identity Theft
• Feel Old Yet?
• News Van Fail
• Moto X Review
  I still want one. Flo says maybe we should get a family cell phone plan for both of us. That’s maybe a bit too much commitment, but I’ll think about it.

• Absolute Horizontal and Vertical Centring in CSS
• Aaaaaand Finally…

And we’re done for this week! Later, losers.

I’ll spare you the obligatory “holy crap, it’s August already?” comment in my LNL preamble this week. Oh. Too late. I’ll also try to avoid going to into a lot of detail about how, for the first time, I’m writing this post on my newly-created hackintosh laptop and what I had to go through to make it work. Instead, let’s just dive in to all the usual stuff and things:

• Police’s 8ft Anti-Theft Banner Stolen a Day After it was Installed
• Be Prepared for Winter Drinking
• The Classic Fart Exhaust Mod
• The Bubblewrap Bike
• High Five
  Charlie doesn’t know how to do this, and I don’t know how to teach him. But he can shake hands, so that’ll have to do for now.

And we’re done for the week! That was a lot to get through in one go, so let’s all take a five minute break.

I’m sleepy, so let’s just get this late night links stuff out of the way and move on with our respective lives, k?

• Zack Attack
