A Mysterious List

I found the following list in an old notebook in my handwriting.  I have no idea what they have in common, nor any memory of writing it.  Their connection is irretrievably lost, and probably wasn't much to begin with.

• Labyrinth in ear
• Samoyed dogs
• Richard Eder
• "Bad Behavior", 1993 movie
• Qom, Iran
• Storting
• Etaoin Shrdlu
• Daughters of Saturn
  

The title of this blog, "Code and Things and People" constitutes another list.
 

• Code (for example, source code, software, and software systems)
• Things (for example, doors, power grids, and subatomic particles)
• People (for example, me, soccer players, and humanity)
  

Unlike the first, the elements of this list are deeply interrelated. Unlike the first, the relations between them can be unearthed and examined.  These elements and their relations are the focus of this blog.  Welcome.
