Bookmark Tags for Firefox - Today's Browser Tip

by Jordan Running Nov 17th 2005

Bookmark Tags does pretty much what you'd guess: It lets you organize your bookmarks with tags instead of folders. When you create a new bookmark you can specify as many tags as you want, and then when you want to find a bookmark you can either select the tags you want or type them in. There are also quite a few more advanced features, so even if you're happy with your current system (be it Firefox's built-in bookmarks or a site like del.icio.us), it's still worth checking out.

This reminds me again of Powermarks (http://www.kaylon.com/power.html) which is (was?) the best bookmark application I ever tried. It used tags before tags were cool, and had many features to help maintain your list, like batch checking for updates and obsolete links, and syncing multiple installations with a central server. I say "was" because their site hasn't been updated since '03 and I've gotten no response to several e-mails.

This looks really cool, but it is not compatible with Firefox RC3.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
