DeskTask - Outlook desktop plugin

Windowsby Jason Clarke Mar 20th 2006

DeskTask is one of those "best of breed" standalone desktop widgets like Rainlendar that doesn't require an engine like the Yahoo! product formerly known as Konfabulator or DesktopX. DeskTask is simply a utility that will take your Outlook tasks and calendar information and put it right on your desktop. If you're one of those people that keeps their system uncluttered with windows, then this could be a very valuable addition to your desktop.

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.
