Winamp 5.31

WinampI am a long time fan of Winamp and its llama-whipping goodness, but ever since Windows Media Player 11 beta came out I have been using it since it has a bunch of new features and is much better organized than previous versions. Winamp has taken a back-seat to WMP11 at least little bit. I am still a hardcore Winamp fan, and the latest release of Winamp 5.31 is no exception. I can't decide if I am a fan of the new features like included internet TV and radio, but it stays out of the way if you want it to. Two new features of Winamp are worth a look. Winamp Remote, and Winamp Dashboard. Remote is somewhat like Vibe Streamer, letting you access your Winamp music library from anywhere on the web, and Dashboard is a way to add online video and other feeds to your winamp, finally bringing personalized content to the player. Both features are in beta, so look out for bugs, though they seemto work okay for me. Dashboard is a portal of sorts, but helpful in some ways. I like remote, cause you can stream your whole music collection online, which means that every PC in your house can play music from it. I still like VIbe Streamer a bit better, but Winamp remote is not a bad first offering. Sweet tunes, baby.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
