Link Round-Up: Summer Cleaning, Part 2

Bear with me, I’m getting there. More links from the stuffed link closet. You can see all the recent link round-ups here.

• Meta-Efficient, a
  weblog about cheap, reliable, green and effective things.
• Panoramic photos
  of the Paris metro. It ain’t quite the
  Prague metro, but it’s still attractive.
• PeopleFallingOver.com.
  Enough said.
• First non-educational computer game I ever played: Zork
  III. First computer game I never finished: Zork III. See the many flavours
  of Infocom text adventures here. Don’t miss The
  Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Leather
  Goddesses of Phobos.
• Random city
  photos.
• Is this a paradigm-changing
  device? Well, maybe not paradigm changing, but it’s pretty frickin’ cool.
  An entire PC that runs Windows, including 80211b and Bluetooth, that fits
  in your pocket? Check out this
  video for a demo. All for less than US $2000. Thanks to Tom
  Murphy for the linkage.
• The 50
  coolest songs parts. I must make my own list some time, and it won’t feature
  Phil Collins at #1. They link to a great article on the Rolling Stones’ Sympathy
  of for the Devil.
• The etymology of the term rubber
  match.
• Stupid student tricks–making
  metaphors. My favourite is ‘she was as easy as the Daily Star crossword’.
  Though, ‘the dandelion swayed in the gentle breeze like an oscillating electric
  fan set on medium’ is also fantastic.
• Via Transblawg,
  we find a
  dictionary of vulgarities for non-native English speakers.
