1 + 1 = 4? Wait....Ecalc please

by Drew Olanoff Jul 8th 2008

Some of us aren't good with numbers. The whole addition, subtraction, division, it's just not our forte.

Sure Windows and Macs have built in calculators but we're web people so we need something on the web to make us not feel like we're totally mathstupid.

Ecalc to the rescue. It's not just any calculator though.

It's pretty and webified.

They also have a scientific calculator for those who are past just trying to add up this months shopping list with the rent, which is as far as some of us go.

All kidding aside, scientific calculators are expensive...so it's pretty cool to have this tool available online.

They also have a rundown of all types of calculators if you're really into that.

So go be a mathematical genius...we're counting on you.

Get it? Oy.

eCalc has a much better user interface than Instacalc (http://instacalc.com/). It also includes an easy to use unit converter and equation solver. I will save this and definitely use this in the future.

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.
