cancer cutter

Cancer Cutter is an action puzzle game. The game board in Cancer Cutter consists of a grid of cells. Cancer cells are red and normal cells are white. Click a cancer cell to convert it to a normal cell. Hold the mouse button and drag the mouse to cut a row or column of cancer cells.

Every few seconds the cancer cells spread and random normal cells will mutate into cancer cells. The object of the game is to clear the grid of cancer cells. If the cancer cells spread past the edges of the grid, the game ends.

pongclock

Plays Pong against itself. While this sounds useless, there is one reason: The score always displays the current time.

Today, this is only a “technical preview;” the clock works okay but has not been extensively tested. It runs completely through JavaScript and it consumes some CPU-Time, namely about 10% ~ 11% on a 1 GHz G4 PowerBook. Of course, it does not run while the Dashboard is hidden and, therefore, does not consume power then.

In future releases, you’ll be able to actually play Pong.

podserve

from podserve:
PodServe gives you a place to upload, host, promote and share your podcast. PodServe makes it easy to start creating podcasts – if you can record an mp3 PodServe will do the rest. Also available are social podcasting and public podcasting.

Social podcasting basically allows you to invite one or more people to join your podcasting effort. For example, had Lincoln and Douglas had access to our Social Podcasting service they could have each added shows or episodes for each of their speeches without the need to coordinate their activities. They would just upload their mp3 to PodServ and subscribers would receive each show or episode automatically. Or lets say you have a ten member book club located across the globe reading ‘long tail’ books like Headhunting in the Solomon Islands. You can create a Social podcast for the club, inviting each member to upload their thoughts into the podcast. Each member would subscribe and by the end of the month (hopefully) everyone has read the book and listened to each others thoughts on it. Social podcasts can be either moderated or un-moderated.

Public podcasting - add a show or episode to your public podcast. Pick a ‘long tail’ topic or subject and let release your podcast into the wild and see what happens. Pick a ‘head of the tail’ topic and watch it explode. Sort of like a public chat room. Public podcasts can be moderated, but why would you do that to yourself?
