I just saw this:
http://www.gapminder.org/
play the TED video.
Then go play with things here:

This has been done by the Karolinska Instititet in Stockholm. The
'Create your own project' part does not appear to be ready yet,

Crunchy allows you to "blend" (to use your expression) html text
Here is a little summer project I'd like to share.
This is simply a Python module that blends text and code. The idea is that a

It's interesting you mention roomba in the same posting.
I had the same idea, and ithe game I have in mind is explicitly about
virtual roombas!
We would provide a virtual world in which different colored vaccum
