Another scary chart

Here's a frightening chart: it shows total US credit market debt (money that has been borrowed by all levels of government, as well as by corporations, and individuals) as a percentage of US gross domestic product (GDP = the total dollar value per year of all goods and services- that is, a measure of how much 'value' there is as measured by how much has actually been paid for stuff). Basically, it is like measuring how much you owe versus how much you spent in a year. Although most people owe more than they spend in any year (easy to do if you have a mortgage), it is generally not good to owe many times more than you can spend...you can't reasonably borrow a million dollars if you have only $50K per year of spending power, because you will never make enough to pay it back.
Look at the Great Depression years, then the years in-between, then the current time.
Yikes.

KOL Wikipedia

If you enjoy the Kingdom Of Loathing as much as I have you may like the idea of a KOL Wikipedia with all the info needed to beat (and enjoy) the game.

Noby Noby Boy

I love this slightly bewildered pre-review (from BoingBoing's new gaming blog) of Noby Noby Boy, the upcoming PS3 game by Keita Takahashi, the guy who made the fabulous but bizarre Katamari Damacy.

Apparently the new game is so bizarre it's hard to describe. When you read an attempt at description you can understand why: "the fundamentals are simple: you control a Noby 'BOY' [who looks like a long snake] with both analog sticks: one for the head, one for the tail, flexing, stretching, and eventually tying yourself in knots, in a playground world that's otherwise devoid of goals."

Evolving Mona Lisa

This guy wrote a genetic program (a computer program that uses natural selection to solve problems) that simulated/replicated the Mona Lisa using 50 semi-transparent polygons. I wonder if any human would have been able to figure out how to do that?

Shown: The 348th and 904,314th generations of evolution.
