If you're just looking for trivia, I've got some inane blog posts:

If you want some little known tricks, @Peter_Crawford_blueyonder_co_uk has some good papers for that.

Search at lexjansen.com for programming tips and tricks. 

 

Additionally, if you search SAS Global Forum papers (also indexed at lexjansen.com) anything in 'Coders Corner' is a paper that had a ten minute limit so you may be able to collect 'facts' there.
