Build easy web pages with Sauropol

Sauropol
Online web page builders are a dime a dozen these days. In fact, they're even cheaper because many will let you build and host a web site for free. But Sauropol is worth mentioning for a couple of reasons.

First, this web site builder and host is incredibly easy to use. You can make a static web page or start a blog in a matter of seconds. And you can add image galleries and forums with the click of a button (although the forum feature seems to be rather limited). And second, while there are only a handful of free templates to choose from at the moment, several of them are actually quite attractive.

Of course, Sauropol's strength is also its weakness. It's easy to use because there aren't a ton of options to choose from. If you want to add custom HTML or change the widgets in your sidebars you'll have a much easier time with WordPress, Blogger, or WiX. You can download and customize page templates by hand, which is nice. But if you've got the technical chops to do that, you probably don't need a free online web page creator in the first place.

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.
