Tagline Randomizer for WordPress

Sonic Drive In signOh, the burden of a great imagination. So you're setting up a new WordPress blog, or considering revamping your current one. First you come up with a killer title for it, then there's that subtitle / tagline field staring at you. Instantly you think of about 20 fantastic taglines, and can't possibly decide which one is best.

No problem. Just install the Tagline Randomizer. Once installed, you are treated with an additional page on your blog's options page in the admin panel, where you can enter as many taglines as you like, each on their own line.

It's dead simple, and does exactly as it says. The only thing to beware of is that right after you install it, you might notice that the tagline on your site completely disappears. It's mildly disconcerting, but apparently totally normal behavior. If you navigate away from your site and come back in a few minutes (assuming you've configured some taglines) they will begin showing up. We were sceptical at first, but that's exactly how it happened for us.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI 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.
