Checkser: a wiki for checklists

by Todd Ritter Feb 18th 2008

Checkser: wiki for checklists Checkser is niche application of the wiki concept: users create/edit checklists for topics ranging from "What to look for when buying a home" to "Things to do before leaving for a vacation." The checklists are useable (you can click checkboxes to mark items), and editable anonymously or with an OpenID signature.

While editing a checklist, you can drag/drop list items in whatever order you choose. You can also provide a "Read More..." link in case you want to offer a preview of a more extensive list found elsewhere.

Like any good wiki, you can view the history of edits for the checklists. Our favorite list so far is the Web 2.0 checklist.

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.
