Love and Happiness to all

So today is special for two reasons. One, its my mother’s birthday, but she lives overseas right now, so its kinda hard to call her. I tried last night, and I will try again tonight, but in case I miss her, Happy Birthday Mom! Two, this is the four month anniversery of my wife becoming my wife, and I have loved every minute of it. I love you, Babe!

[Update] Apparently, I forgot about October. It’s been five months since I got married. You should forgive me.

Collection of Web Games

• Perpetual Motion – the object is to use a bunch of ramps, springs, and sliders to keep a ball in constant motion for a number of seconds. The interface is a little weird and I still don’t know exactly how this scoring works, but its entertaining.
• How many Countries can you name? – I have posted a few games like this before, but this is the first one that covered all countries on all continents. My issue with spelling continues to hold me back.
• 99 Bricks -You can think of this as a reverse of Tetris. You are playing with the same 4-block pieces that we all know and love, but instead of trying to keep your tower low, you are trying to make it as tall as possible. That might sound easy until you realize that gravity is in full effect, and wind effects your pieces once your tower gets tall enough.
• Splitter -Cut things and get the ball to the end, while grabbing the star. It didn’t take me too long to get through, but it was a fun little puzzle.
• JS-909 -Not really a game, more of a music simulator. Entertaining for at least 2-3 minutes.
