Forgetful? Send yourself a Remindr

I don't have the best memory in the world. Since I'm repairing computers all day long, notes in pen written on my hand don't tend to make it through the day. Post It notes never stick, and my co-workers keep erasing my messages from the dry erase board.

Remindr offers an incredibly simple way to jog your memory. Enter your reminder text, pick the date and time you want to be alerted, and choose how you'd like Remindr to send the message. The service can send alerts to your Twitter or email account, Jabber/Gtalk username, or to your phone.

It works best to entire your time in 24 hour format (0942) - the field expects four numbers and will enter 94:2 instead of 9:42.

Currently, it's only intended for one-time reminders - there isn't an option for recurring notifications. Still, it's a quick and easy way to keep yourself from forgetting something important.

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.
