Moodle: an open-source learning management system

MoodleIf you ever have need for an online learning center of any kind, Moodle is most likely one of the best options you have. It is a full-blown pedagogical learning managment system that has everything you could want and more. It is "easy" to configure if you know what you're doing. It is written in PHP and uses MySQL as a backend, but can be used with other database systems if needed. Many universities and K-12 schools have setup online learning centers using Moodle. I have personally used it for corporate projects, including hacking it to give me exactly the data I want for integration with an existing training tracking application. It plays nice with many types of content including SCORM, flash, and many more. Moodle also supports many types of modules that are easy to install through it's clean interface. It is a bit easier to install and use than many other learning systems I have tried, and is more stable. Moodle is free for download. Open-source LMS baby!

In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
