RetailMeNot: Discount codes from the BugMeNot folks

by Ryan Carter Oct 30th 2006

For those of us who hate giving out our email, our address, our name, social security number, blood type, political affiliations and favorite brand of cereal just to get into a site we will only use once, or to download an app, bugmenot.com has been the killer app of anonymity on the web for ages. The folks at BugMeNot.com have just launched their new service for coupon codes, called RetailMeNot. Sure, coupon code sites are not anything new, but to find one as well done as BugMeNot is rare, so I am looking forward to using this site for all kinds of coupons online. I love that they have the most recent and popular listings right on the homepage. There is also a bookmarklet for those who bookmark coupon codes frequently.

hi

users of bugmenot and retailmenot may also be interested that retailmenot has diverged slightly from bugmenot to offer a better user experience. you can now browse all the coupons and deals by tags and categories, and there is a forum for those that like to chat about thier favourite deals.

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.
