Really cool science-related blog

[Dr. Rat]

This is a blog that I've found to be really fascinating and enlightening:

Three-toed Sloth

By a youngish fellow named Cosma Shalizi who is a post-doc at the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan and has also studied at the Santa Fe Institute.

Aside from knowing math, science and complexity theory really well, he's also generally well-read and really well-plugged into the scientific end of the blogosphere.

I might check him out since majority of world's big systems are complex systems but at first glance it looks like 99% is over my head.

One funny thing is, he has these gorgantuan equations and at the end he says something like "Note to statisticians: Sorry I am being simplistic"

Yes, some of it is not for your average bear, but he also writes intelligently about understandable things like evolution and politics as well.
