Get your degree in the internet -- in less than two minutes!

Did Steve Ballmer really get an Internet Diploma?Do you want to make more money? Sure, we all do! You can make more money quickly and easily by studying for a new career at home in your spare time.

Get your degree in professional internet surfing from myinternetdiploma.com! It's the hot new career! And you know that "study" talk we've gone on about? Pfft. Studying is for people who actually want to learn stuff. Where's the glory in that?

And spare time? That would imply that we have lives and other stuff we should be doing, and then we wouldn't really need an internet diploma.

The good news is, as long as you know how to type in your email address, and are then able to log in to the aforementioned email account by using your username and password... You too can get a degree in professional internet surfing. That's not all...

There are absolutely no tuition costs! Plus, putting it on your resumé is no problem. It's not a purchased degree, or an earned degree. That's right! You can use it where ever you wish because it is -- well, pretty much worthless?

So, yeah. Why on earth would you want to do this? Hey, search us. It's kind of funny. Totally pointless, but funny. For about two whole minutes, you know, as long as it takes for you to fill out the forms for your degree. No, wait, and then it's fun for another two minutes, when you view your degree. Then you realize that you have a molecular biology final tomorrow and reality sets in.

Why would the site owners want to do this? We imagine there is probably some harvesting of emails involved somewhere, but we're not sure. The few, the brave, the worthy DLS bloggers who have earned this prestigious honor didn't use email addresses that they check regularly. It is entirely possible that the folks behind My Internet Diploma are really into education, and want to bestow its virtue on everybody.

The "No Surfer Left Behind" Act has a nice ring to it, in that case. Otherwise, make sure your spam filter is up to snuff.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI 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.
