Sometime last week I found this logic game (mac only, sorry) via MetaFilter’s Projects page, and wow, it’s my new favorite timesink. It’s fantastic - the guy’s niece describes it as “a cross between Sudoku and those logic puzzles we do in school”, except it feels less like Sodoku and more like the logic puzzles to me, minus the story lines that went with them.
It’s not a polished release or anything (the designer is pretty upfront about that), but it seems to be relatively bug-free (sometimes when I try to get a hint it’s all “no, you can’t have one until you fix this square that’s already been completed correctly, dummy”). Really, for a free game, it’s completely awesome. If you have time to spare (or just like to pretend you do, like me), you should give it a try. Be careful, though, as I’m pretty sure it’s as addictive as crack.1

Also, regarding my previous post: Annie lied. Stupid rain - it was back this morning like it was never gone.
Things I Can Do In The US That I Can’t Do In Taiwan:
- Run. Oh, sure, I can run here - I’ve actually gone running twice (woo! Two whole times!) in the six months we’ve been living in Taiwan. The first time it happened was the day before the first of my eleventy-billion colds showed up, and the second, uh, I don’t remember when that was. Between the astounding lack of time to call my own, perilous sidewalks (when there are any at all), and visibly grimy air, I’ve just completely given up on running here.
- I’ve never actually done crack. I have to way to verify this comparison. [↩]
