Seenly: Photo Booth for everyone (Time-Waster)

by Nik Fletcher Aug 12th 2007

Mac users have, for quite some time now, been able to kill time with Photo booth, Apple's software that allows you to take photos (and apply fun filters) via the built in iSight cameras. However reader Keifari wrote in to tell us about a neat new site that (whilst still in Alpha) uses Flash to allow anyone with a Flash-accessible webcam to kill time with an online Photo booth.

Seenly offers you a number of different effects, including a Lomo 9 effect (where 9 shots are taken in shot sucession, and placed in a single frame), and you can save photos to the service too. If you're not on a Mac, and want to have a little bit of fun with a webcam you might have, this might be just the ticket.

Please resize the image itself before posting and not squishing it down using the width and height attributes in the img tag. Otherwise it looks like this on Windows PC's -> http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/6011/dlszt3.png

Seenly looks like a fun little webcam toy.

There is a program called Snap, free to use, with the possibility to upgrade for more fun, that is made for
Windows. You can do fun things like stretch, squish, or even multiply your face. There are some fun decorations too. You can find it at www.snapstrip.com!

Have you guys seen this one??

waves.tv is a webcam entertainment community, and the only site where you can shoot "real" photobooth pictures in strips of four shots . You can share them using widgets, and rate others photos. You can also save high-res images for prints.

I've had 20 minutes of fun on that site with my webcam. This app has a distinct feel, and a is very rich / impressive User Interface. Their blog says that waves.tv plans to become a "community powered TV network", and will soon launch some "live video game shows" which will use interactive webcam streams.

so it's http://waves.tv

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.
