Create Printed Paper Sleeves for Your Burned CDs and DVDs



The 'net is a great place to get your hands on music and movies, but if you're like me you sometimes have difficulty remembering to label the disc or its container.

Liquid Mongoose
has created a clever web app that will create a custom paper sleeve from any AOL Music album page or Netflix DVD page. All you need to do is drag the bookmarklet link to your Firefox toolbar or add it to your favorites in IE.

Visit the page of the album or movie you want to sleeve, click the bookmark, and go to file -> print preview. Voila! Just make sure your page is set to print at 100% and not fit to page, or the sleeve may not look correct after folding.

CD sleeves contain album artwork and details and a full track listing, while DVDs print a cover shot, synopsis, and rating information.

The template doesn't print fold lines, so you'll want to check out the tutorial video at the bottom of the Liquid Mongoose page. It's a pretty simple operation, and very easy to master. Full props for the application, but the LM logo is a little unsightly. I'll be GIMPing it out until it looks a little better.

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.
