dodge that anvil

from the site
The rabbits of Eastwarren have always been unusually intelligent. While other animals stole crops from humans, they watched and learned to grow their own. They prospered for many years by planting vegetable patches in forest clearings.

Then, one autumn day, the impossible occurred. Anvils began to rain from the sky! Fearing for their lives, the rabbits fled from the fields, leaving the crops to languish. They cowered in their burrows, struggling to understand this cruel twist of fate.

Faced with starvation, Eastwarren’s greatest minds met to devise a strategy for surviving the relentless anvil storm. In collaboration with gopher engineers, they developed a set of highly advanced harvesting equipment. These tools, they explained, would in theory allow a very quick and brave rabbit to endure the anvil onslaught indefinitely.

Only one such rabbit volunteered.

Can one brave bunny feed the entire warren? Who is behind the anvil storm, and why? Join the intrepid Harvester of Eastwarren and find out!

speak n spell

Speak N Spell was developed to help you practice your spelling abilities.

When you first launch Speak N Spell, the default dictionary of over 48,000 words is used. You can open the Word Maintenance window from the menu bar and revise this dictionary (add or delete words), use your own set of words (clear the table and add words), or load a plain text file with words. You can also save the word list to a plain text file. Make such a file one word per line and save the file with a “.txt” suffix.

The four levels of difficulty use different size words:

* a. Easy - Three letter words
* b. Medium - Four to six letter words
* c. Hard - Seven to ten letter words
* d. Hardest - More than ten letter words

tunetags

Have you ever realized that many songs do not fit into just ONE Genre? Or, you want to note which songs are good for driving, are domantic, or just about anything else useful to know? You can make playlists for these things, but it would be better if the song itself could be marked with many different keywords, or “tunetags,” that let you know more about each song. Then, smart playlists could be made that show you all your good 80’s driving music, or romantic folk music, or defiant rock music or even music good for getting psyched-up before a competition.

TuneTags lets you mark each song using many tags from a list, or library, of tags. It comes with a starting library of tags, but you can add your your own to the library as you think of new tunetags that describe your music.
