Keep an in-browser sticky note with Stickyscreen

by Jay Hathaway Dec 26th 2008

Desktop sticky note apps are old news. A basic one is packaged with Mac OS, and stickies will be a standard feature in Windows 7. Stickyscreen offers something different, though: a sticky note for your browser. It's a simple, minimal way of reminding you of a personal mantra or an important to-do item.

Stickyscreen is just a pad you can write on, save as a homepage, and change whenever you want. There are no skins, extra fonts, or fiddly bits: just a note. This way, you spend the minimum amount of time updating it, and you'll see a handy reminder whenever you open your homepage. Personally, I think the "Get to work!" message from the default note would make a good Stickyscreen all by itself.

I thought stickies were already in Windows Vista?

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.
