Unnatural Selection continues to pick up blog steam. floccinaucinihilipilificate, the next rising star, I am Nathan. Made from 100% real fruit juice, moneyscience, and the aptly named nerdshit.com link to Sam Williams’s article. Javarunner discusses a GA in Java called JGAP. Junkyard discusses integer programming using GAs. Gamesfromwithin has an interesting post with mention of using GAs to create realistic video games:

Finally, a third way of approaching animation synthesis was presented by Torsten Reil, from Natural Motion. He tackled the problem by using a set of controllers and running it through a set of genetic algorithms to develop the motion he wanted out of them. . . .A lot of the demos showed used a combination of genetic algorithms to derive the controllers, plus some artist tweaking, and a few heuristics.
