Gawk all day and all night long

by Drew Olanoff May 31st 2008

Gawker lets you do time-lapse photography with your Mac's iSight. You can share and record your streams with other people, and they can record as well.

That's awesome. And very scary. Don't forget to turn it off before you go to bed, or the world wide interwebs will know that you sing Barry Manilow in your sleep. It was just one time, ok?

There's a neat page of examples that you can check out here.

The newest release lets you password protect your streams, schedule a stream to start and end, and some cleaning up of the user interface.

Apparently the folks over at the co-working space IndyHall were using it, and their fearless leader Alex Hillman tweeted about it.

Thanks for the heads up! This is one to watch.

Hey...who left the camera on again?

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.
