Letting my inner nerd out a bit...

I would definitely describe myself as much heavier into the Political Science half of my studies than the Economics side, but one thing I do enjoy about Econ is the quantitative aspect of data collection/study that is kind of lacking in the more abstract discipline of Poli Sci. As such, I keep an eye on the Freakonomics blog and found these two fun little links that are economics-related but kind of amusing. Many Eyes is an IBM-sponsored way of presenting data in new and interesting ways, while the Baby Name Wizard is just sort of fun to look at how popularity changes over time. Look at your own name and see how it's been viewed over the years, it's kind of a kick.
