Trying the 'Visual Thesaurus'. I'm amazed by the Visual Thesaurus, but not totally sure I want to run it. This may be a case... [Dan Gillmor's eJournal]

A friend of mine turned me on to this a while back. I think it's cool, but like Dan, I'm not sure how useful it really is.

Are Dynamic Languages Going to Replace Static Languages?. For many years we've been using statically typed languages for the safety they offer. But now, as we all gradually adopt Test Driven Development, are we going to find that safety redundant? Will we therefore decide that the flexibility of dynamically typed languages is desirable? (From Robert C. Martin's Weblog) [Robert C. Martin's Weblog]

I would also LOVE to work with dynamically typed, dynamically loaded, dynamically bound languages. I'd like to have the opportunity to work on a large project and see how much of an issue "type" problems really are. I suspect, like Bob says in the article, type problems are not a problem if you are using unit tests.
