Simply Google

by Jordan Running Apr 11th 2006

TUAW's David Chartier dropped us a line to point us to Simply Google, a sort of meta-homepage for Google's many, many services. In addition to the requisite Google search box, it also has search boxes for Images, Groups, Books, Blogs, and so on and so on, plus links to other Google sites like Analytics, Personalized Home, and Gmail, plus all of Google's blogs (and their feeds). Simply Google also has links for Google's various apps and its April Fools sites and, for, good measure, search boxes for Yahoo!, MSN, and a few others. No, this isn't the first meta-Google site, but for a site with a couple dozen search boxes, Simply Google does a nice job of keeping down the clutter.

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.
