Speaking of games,

I've encountered a new one that's absolutely delightful. Go forth and enjoy Chain Factor.

It's beautiful to look at (the music is lively without being irritating and the pastel disks look like mentos) and of course fun to play. What I really admire, though, are the sentiments expressed in the faq:

" The games industry is poised on the brink of a profound transformation. Games have the potential to be the most powerful artform ever invented, an unparalleled medium for the exploration of dynamic interactive systems and the expression of complex emotional, social, and political ideas. "

There is also a strong collaborative component - new powers may be unlocked with secret keys, and then enjoyed by everyone.
