Can you believe it’s already that time of the week again?

• That’s How it Usually Goes
• Just How Big is Comet 67P?
• Giants Rookie Made What is Being Called the Greatest Catch Ever
  It’s pretty good, I guess. If you like that kind of thing.
• Brilliance in Product Reviews
• The Best Chromebook for Every Need
  I like the idea of a Chromebook. For most people who do most of their work inside a browser these days anyway, this is all you need.
• This Man Speaks the Holiday Truth
  Flo should take note 😉
• The 24 Most Awkward Names That Ever Existed
  I’ve seen (and even posted) most of these before, but these are always fun, so enjoy!
• Twitter Will Track Which Apps You Use on Your Phone
  I don’t think this is OK. But there’s a way to turn it off. Here.
• Santa is Expecting a Present This Year…
• A Gift Guide for the Starter Smart Home
  Interesting…
• Philadelphia’s PYT Burger Joint has Unleashed a Macaroni and Cheese Bacon Doughnut. Be Afraid.
  I want one. I think.

Done!

You know what, let’s just skip the introductory sentence entirely this week and drive right in!

Oh, wait…

  I haven’t downloaded the Facebook Messenger app on principle. Now I don’t have to.
• A 5-Year-Old Passed a Microsoft IT Technician Exam
• Trailer Park Cats
• Fight Club
• Three Creepy Facts About the Conspiracy Behind Pumpkin Spice
  “Conspiracy” is maybe a bit strong. Still.
• Google’s New Bookmarking Interface, Formerly Called “Stars,” Goes Live in Chrome Beta
  Interesting. These days I don’t really use bookmarks, preferring to use Evernote to clip relevant content. Maybe I’m just lacking a good bookmarking tool?
• Winning the Mega Jackpot
  Watching these Aussies win on a Japanese gambling machine is almost as entertaining as playing it yourself.
• Motorola’s New $25 Dongle Helps You Find Your Lost Keys, Unlocks Your Phone
• Google’s Trusted Places Just Made My Life So Much Easier
  I don’t have the necessary update to Google Play Services yet. It’s not so important on my phone (which is unlocked whenever it’s in range of my watch), but I’m excited for my Nexus 9 to get this feature.
• Kids Toys Too Inappropriate for Words…
• Best Snow News Bloopers
  T’is the season.
• This Discounted Alarm Clock Just Might Change Your Life
  I think I want one of these.

And that’s all for another week folks! Until next time, then.

It’s that time of the week again, and we’re still behind from the six weeks I took off. Let’s just get going right away, then. Post-haste, if you will. Quickly.

• Could Your Washer Really Charge Your Smartphone from Across the Room?
  Possibly. It can probably give you cancer while it does it too.
• Armed Man Dressed as Batman Tries to Rob Armoured Vehicle in Halifax
• A True Hero
• Checky Tells You How Often You Check Your Phone
  Interesting. It would have been more interesting to install this before I got my smartwatch to see how it changed.
• Public Library Fees Eliminated Ahead of Schedule
  I’ve talked about this before. I think it was lunacy that the Calgary public library had fees to begin with. I will join now.
• The Inspiration
• There’s About Seven Sports Combined to Make This Ridiculous Game
• Save on Funeral Costs by Donating Your Whole Body to Science
  Uh… good plan?

  This is awesome. I could spend a good chunk of my day watching nothing happen in other people’s homes. It’s strangely engaging.
• Chinese Programmer Sticks Windows 95 On an iPhone 6 Plus
• Download Android Lollipop Now for Your Nexus 5 or 7
  I did.

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

Well, I did warn you in my last late night links post that it would be a while until my next post. Six weeks have virtually flown by, but I’m now firmly back in real-life after my vacation. We’re probably not going to get through everything from that time tonight, but let’s at least get started, shall we?

• The Best Android Wear Apps
  I have an Android Wear watch now. I’ll write more about it soon over at my blog.
• Cyanide & Happiness #3697
  A nullion.
• Canadians Willing to Drive Further for Cheap Gas: Survey
  The is the kind of thing people who can’t do math do.

  I have two-factor authentication enabled already. Do I go the extra mile with it? I might.

• Korea is Taking the Double Down to the Next Level
  I’d try it.
• What If #118: Physical Salary

That was a lot to take in, congrats on making it all the way to the end. I’m not done with my list of flagged articles from while I’ve been away, but we’ll pick this up next week, same time, same place. See you there!

It’s that time of the week again, and you should make the most of it too because in all likelihood late night links will be taking a few weeks off after today, seeing as I too am taking a few weeks off.

• ‘Family Fun Day’ Asks Province to Increase IVF Funding
• Special Offer
• Reporter Quits on Live TV
  Love this.
• How to Run Android Apps Inside Chrome on Any Desktop Operating System
  As the article says, this isn’t supported and you shouldn’t expect to easy or bug-free, but it’s cool to see what’s coming.
• A Florida Woman (of Course) Spent $20,000 to Surgically Implant a Third Breast
  She apparently did this in attempt to get a MTV reality show out of it.
• Krispy Kreme Kicked Off Their UK Doughnut Delivery Program With a 200-Dozen Special
  I could go for 200 dozen doughnuts right about now.
• Stabucks Is Making Beer Flavoured Coffee?
  I’m listening…
• Canadian Man Found With 51 Live Turtles Stuffed in Pants
  Each to their own, I guess.
• Yahoo’s Old Web Directory Still Exists, But Not for Long
  Crazy. It’s here. That’s a blast from the past if ever there was one.

And that’s it! I’ll be back with more in a few weeks.

Flo is away today at an event in Edmonton and won’t be back until tomorrow, so I have much more time than usual with which to craft my late night links post, and much fewer distractions while I work on it.

You might be thinking this edition will be a higher quality affair as a result. Nope.

• Dilbert: September 15th
  I am a “team member” now too.

  Following on from my post a couple of weeks ago that featured an ATM running doom.

  I want this in my belly.

  Brilliantly simple, or simply brilliant? Better than this, I’d say.
• We’ve Come a Long Way With Free Music and U2
• Man Refuses to Let His Car Be Towed, Reverses Off Truck
  Brilliantly simple? Less so than the mug, I’d say.
• Peter’s Plans to Put Down Patties in Red Deer
  I support this. I’d probably actually end up going to the Red Deer location more than the Calgary one.
• Logitech Extended Harmony Line to Control More of Your Home
  It might be time to replace our aging Harmony remotes with the newer, more fully featured ones. I’ll add it to the list.
• The Creepster
• Doggy Drinking Fountain
  I love this. I think we need it in our city.
• The Comfort Principle: Spend Money Where You Spend Your Time
  As a recent purchaser of a new desk chair (cushioned with memory foam, no less), this makes a lot of sense. New mattress has to be next, I think.

And we’re done! Until next week, everyone.

It’s late night links time again! Let’s get this going.

• Cool Dog House Upgrade: Instantly Endearing Pet Trailer Design
  I love it.
• Get on the Beer Boat!

  I have no tattoos and don’t plan on getting any, but were I to get one I’d least do the research ahead of time rather than afterwards.
• The Steering Wheel? We Probably Don’t Need It, Right?
• Erik Kessels’ New Book Documents the Attack of the Giant Fingers
  I like this idea.
• Google Launches Hangouts Dialer, Gives Free Calls to U.S., Canada
• Postmodern Jukebox – All About That Bass
  This isn’t the first time I’ve posted a Postmodern Jukebox video, and it probably won’t be the last either.
• Seven Course Dinner
• LEGO Calendar Ready to Sync with iCal, Google
  I want this. I have no use for it, but I want it anyway.

And that’s it! We’re all done for another seven days. Next weekend Flo is away for work, so I should have plenty of time to get LNL done on time – unless I’m overwhelmed with trying to entertain dog, and make sure that he’s appropriately fed and watered.

First of all, apologies that there was no late night links post last weekend. I was sick. Close to death, in fact, just ask Flo.

As usual, we much to get through. Let’s get on with it.

• LG to Announce Circular Smartwatch to Take on Moto 360
  Interesting, although I still think I’m going to buy a Moto 360. It’s available now in the U.S., and I’ll be able to buy one here in Canada sometime in this autumn.
• Jawbone Looks at UPO Data to see How Many Were Woken Up by the Napa Earthquake
• Calgary Public Libraries Poised to Eliminate Card Fee

  I am all about the analytics these days.

  Want

It’s that time of the week again! Late night links! Yay!

• Motorola’s Moto 360 Smartwatch Pops Up at BestBuy Two Weeks Early
  I have money set aside to get this thing. I’m excited.
• Farrell Calls for Loosening of Taxi Regulations in Wake of Uber Proposal
  Taxis are broken in Calgary. I don’t know enough to know if deregulation is the answer, but something needs to happen.
• Internet Dating Has Come to This
  Flo and I often make fun of specificity of internet dating sites that we see advertised. Farmers Only takes the cake, in my opinion.
• Cyanide & Happiness #3656: I Need That Belt
• Woman Poses as Deceased Sister While Wearing Her Memorial T-Shirt
  While we’re on the subject of things not to wear while committing crimes, there’s also this.
• This is the Worst App in the World
• Pushbullet Now Syncs Clipboard Content Between Android and Windows
  Nice.

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

It’s Sunday night again. Where does the time go?

  It’s not that hard, but if you take money out you can’t put it back until the following calendar year.

• Photographer Perfectly Places iPhone Photos
• Automatically Back Up Your Evernote Notebooks with These Scripts
  Alright then, maybe I will.

  PotatoStock is a go.

  I kinda want this hat. Although I’d never actually wear it, so maybe not.

And that’s it for another week! See you all next Sunday, same time, same place.
