Watch videos, find music, find photos, and download them with Bookmash

by Brad Linder Oct 14th 2008

Bookmash is an online media browser and viewer based on Adobe AIR. It lets you browse or search to find for photos, music, and videos from sites including Flickr, SeeqPod, YouTube, and DailyMotion. When you find what you're looking for, you can play your media using the built in BookMash media playing feature, or you can click the icons below the media to download, share, or bookmark the file.

The media browser looks a lot like the interface for browser plugin Cooliris. But Bookmash is a standalone program that can be run without launching a web browser first. And Cooliris lacks the media download button.

Bookmash also shows top news stories from Digg and has social networking tools that let you do things like enter a person's name to find their profiles on social networking pages. The results are opened in a web browser, not in Bookmash.

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.
