- Meet The Sims and Shoot Them -- America's Army has proven so popular globally that, with so many users signing on from Internet cafes in China, the Chinese government tried to ban it. Full of interesting factoids like this about US military-created first person shooter America's Army and other military uses of games. (via Jim Stogdill)
- Most Overused Cloud Metaphors, Sorted by Weather Pattern -- headline writers beware: you are not being original with your "does the cloud have a silver lining?" folderol. (via lennysan on Twitter)
- Simply Understand -- web site that translates a lot of UK government consultation documents (notorious for pompous and intricate prose) into plain English.
- Simple Event Correlator -- small Unix part to find event correlations. It isn't doing data mining to find correlations in a data stream, but rather you write rules like "tell me if X happens within Y seconds of a Z" and it takes events on stdin and emits correlations on stdout.
