Stikkit, online note taker

stikkit online note takerThis simply designed online note taker is extremely easy to use and pleasant as well. Its clean and easy interface makes it a joy to use. Stikkit isn't as simple as it looks, though. Picture your classic yellow sticky note pads, with a brain of their own. Stikkit actually pays attention to what you type. If it catches you writing a note about an appointment or a task, it will drop it into a calendar, or task list. It even has a little RSS integration, so you can feed your Stikkits into your favorite desktop reader to remind you. Pretty cool. There is only one issue I have with the app: no notifications. I would love to see it shoot me an email when there is a task or calendar item that comes up on its deadline. Or maybe even a text message. In all, Stikkit is a great, simple online application where you can keep your small notes.

P.S. This is exactly what Gmail needs.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
