Desktop Tower Defense is back (Version 1.5), and with all new towers, all new creeps, all new abilities, and a long list of additional improvements, it’s an all new game.
Notable improvements include Morph Creeps, which transform into other creeps as they move, Dark Creeps, which take a special kind of tower to damage, Ink Towers, which damage creeps as they walk over the ink, Snap Towers, which fire once with huge damage, and Boost Towers, which add damage to the towers around it.
The interface has also been improved, and the sounds are all new, for an overall better experience.
Now what are you waiting for; go kill some creeps!

Urban Monarch and Modern Drunkard put together two great guides about how to score free drinks when you go out. Put down the credit card, and slowly step away.
Artist Felix Beck created a non-visual graffiti project called Soundbombs, “innocuous-looking 6-inch plastic shells that broadcast short clips (lines from Shakespeare, flatulence, or anything else you record) to unwitting passersby”. He doesn’t sell them, but instead takes applications, and prospective users must tell him where they will use it and how much they’re willing to pay. Get loud.

Stuart Haygarth created the Tide Chandelier out of man made debris that washed up along a stretch of the Kent coastline. “The sphere is an analogy for the moon which effects the tides which in turn wash up the debris”.
Here’s a unique interface called the BumpTop. Check it out before Apple buys it and uses it for their next iPoderation, ala CoverFlow and the two fingers zoom thing.
Bonus: Here’s why BumpTop isn’t exactly like the way you normally interact with your documents:

Apparently Apple was not too happy about the iPhone interface for Windows Mobile phones, as they sent a round of cease & desist letters to various blogs, demanding that all links be removed regarding their “copyrighted material”. The original software is also no longer available, so you’re going to have to wait for the real thing if you didn’t snag a download in time (or check your favorite torrent site, as I’m sure someone got a copy of the stuff).
If you’re already using a Windows Mobile phone, and the new iPhone has you salivating for more, hold yourself over with a interface facelift. A user of the XDA Developers forum created and posted the customization package, and it looks pretty good considering the short amount of time he’s had to work on it. Though it’s never going to be good enough to replace the real thing, it’ll have to do until Apple gifts the world its latest groundbreaker, so hack away.
