Podcasting Unconference: PodCamp Boston

by Mike Hamilton Jul 21st 2006

If you live in the North East of the US, will be in the area, or just want to attend a podcasting Unconference, then Boston is the place to be the weekend after Labor Day. "PodCamp is a FREE BarCamp-style meetup..." is how the PodCamp Site describes the event.

Anybody can attend, you do not have to be a podcaster, so listeners are welcome, as well as anybody who wants to register and attend. It is free but you do not to go through the registration to get the event swag that will be there. The final venue is still undetermined, but they know it will be in the Boston area and accessible by public transportation to ease attendees getting to the event.

Being that I'm a big Download Squad fan, I'm so excited you're posting about PodCamp. We're really going all out to make this event a great experience. The two cofounders, Christopher S. Penn and I, had such a great time at BarCamp that we knew this was the right way to share information about audio and video podcasting. We've got great registrants already, and everyone's invited to participate. It's not a "sit and listen" conference; it's a "get involved in the new media revolution" conference.

So, thanks again!

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.
