It’s that time of the week again peeps! Let’s get this going though, because as I write this it’s about lunchtime and there’s a new episode of Top Gear on in just over half an hour that I want to watch.

• Dash Reads Your Car’s Diagnostic Info, Tracks Data, Finds Gas
  I saw something similar not too long ago. I think this would be interesting, although I suspect I don’t drive in an especially fuel-efficient manner.
• Dilbert Feb 3: Willpower
• You Get What You Pay For
• This Superbowl Commercial is the Only One Worth Watching
  You probably didn’t see it. It only aired in Georgia and is for a personal injury lawyer… but it’s awesome.

• Candlelight Dinner
  Clearly Valentine’s day is coming up. I hope Flo is as excited about this offer as I am.
• Speak Live With Chat Assistants to Get Discounts on the Web
  Interesting strategy. I always dismiss those little popups as soon as they appear. Maybe I shouldn’t.
• Jamaican Bobsled Team Arrives at Sochi Games Without Luggage or Equipment
  I smell a Cool Runnings sequel.
• These Tweets Prove Russia is Complete Unprepared for the Winter Olympics
  Well, at least the Jamaicans aren’t the only ones not quite ready to go, I guess. Also: this.
• Always Open
• Meet the Man Who Hacked Jeopardy
• ‘Beep’ Works Like a Chromecast for Your Old Speakers
  I could really use a whole-house audio solution…
• Citizenship Act Overhaul to Include Longer Wait to Become Canadian
  I qualify now under the current rules, but I’d have to wait until August under the new rules. I might just apply this week.
• Google Targets Russia’s Anti-Gay Laws with Rainbow Olympic Homepage
• Busiest Speed-On-Green Camera [In Calgary] Caught More Than 28,000 Drivers in 2013
  Not me! But Flo did get caught speeding through here in a Car2Go. lol
• Edward Snowden Used Automated Web Search Tools to Collect NSA Data
• That One Song
• Uh…
• Never Be This Guy at a Wedding
  This made me laugh. I’m sure we’ve all done it though. Right?

And that’s it! We’re done for another week. Laterz, yo.

Can you believe it’s February already, etc, etc? Anyway… welcome to the first of the new-look late night links. Nothing really has changed, except the whole Shrapnel blog has been moved in preparation for becoming a part of my new-look website. The content is exactly the same junk it’s always been though, so let’s jump in!

• Lenovo Buying Motorola’s Handset Business from Google for Nearly $3 Billion
  There was a good while where I thought my next phone would be a Moto X, then I got a Nexus 5 instead. I was looking forward to there being more Google-developed phones though, seeing as they work so well with Android and don’t have so much junk pre-installed. This is a bit of a shame, if you ask me.
• So Much Stupidity

  Not sure that headline’s grammatically correct, but still. Interesting.
