MuxFind: Music search engine for Muxtape

by Brad Linder May 27th 2008

Muxtape is a great site for creating web-based "mix tapes" which you can share with your friends. Just upload a few songs, put them in order, and send the link to your friends, family members, and enemies. Anyone can listen to your songs, but there's no (easy) way to download the music. There's just one problem: There's no way to search Muxtapes, which seriously limits the site's utility.

Enter MuxFind, a search engine for Muxtape. Just enter an artist, song title, or Muxtape user name and MuxFind will direct you to any pages that match your query. Muxfind is a great way to find not just individual songs, but other music you might like. After all, if you're a big Poi Dog Pondering fan, there's a good chance other users who uploaded Poi Dog music will have other songs you might like.

Update: The site has been updated since this post was written so that you can now only search by Muxtape, not by song or artist. This makes both Muxfind and Muxtape a whole lot less useful as far as we're concerned. But the change might (or might not) help keep the sites lawsuit free (for now).

doesn't work for finding songs, only mix names, which is completely useless.
creator of the site must have gotten a cease and desist letter or something.
too bad, it woulda been way cool.

Poi Dog Pondering? -Are you kidding me with this? Now I feel old as dirt.

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.
