Wakerupper and Adam!

by Drew Olanoff May 28th 2008

Have problems waking up or remembering things? So do we. It's too much Red Bull and Monster during all night coding sessions. We feel ya dogz.

Check out the web service Wakerupper that you can set up to call you at any time.

Ever want to get out of an uncomfortable date? Just pull up their mobile version and set yourself up with a call. Your poor unsuspecting companion will never know the difference!

If you become a beta tester you can set up voice messages read directly to you in a creepy meant-to-be-real robotic voice!

It's free and definitely worth a look.

Glad to see wakerrupper.com has come back. I was using it quite a bit last year, then it went down for a while. Very reliable and handy.

The voice it calls you with is very pleasant.

Is there an app or Windows Sidebar tool, that can use my PC as an alarm clock? I am a really heavy sleeper, and I need to have more than one alarm clock in the mornings.

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.
