Close enough.

King - R (Rex) (if it were a Queen it would still be R for Regina)
Otherwise excellent!

Going on a week long camp, fish, hike and ??? probably won't have internet but will have a pictures of the Suwanee River area when I return.
Talk to y'all when I get back.

I wish you good times. What fish can you catch where you're going?
Cheers!

Have a safe trip Mike.
I'm also getting myself ready for another beach outing. Will try to do some snorkeling with the baby sharks. And kayak, too.
Happy weekend to all of us.

Snorkeling with baby Kayak?

Sure. I'll even send you their pictures when I catch some. 
This reminds me of the milk and eggs logic.

Here's what's been burning my cycles for the last few days: http://pyrosphere.net/lazors/[^]
It seems very well implemented, except for that it sure does use power (on a Droid RAZR anyway).
The problem, as I see it, is that as a puzzle it's not very satisfying because stumbling upon the solution is too easy, so it doesn't really exercise "the little grey cells".
But it's free, unless you use all your hints and want to buy more -- I haven't used any hints.
Update: I just completed the whole thing (230 puzzles), and I used no hints.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I found it quite easy when I tried it a while ago - good game though.
This, in the other hand...Move the Box[^] starts simple, and then you have to plan ahead loads. Highest number of moves you are allowed is 4... 
This is also annoying in a 2048 kinda way: Three Sevens[^]

What's annoying about 2048?
That it get's really really boring when you've reached 4096 and you don't really care to try out 8192.

|

Addictive - it has that "one more go" factor (until you get above 4096, I agree)

A while ago I sat down with a version that allows undoes* to see how high I could go. I gave up when I reached 32768. I just did not have the time or patience left to aim for the theoretical maximum of 131027. Reaching the higher numbers was no harder that reaching 2048, it just took more time. The only times it was fun was when the board was full.
So I agree. I don't even care about reaching 4096. As soon as I reach 2048, the game is over for me.
* Is that the correct plural? It looks... wrong?
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

I think the word you are looking for is "undomentifications".

The on-line issue of Current Biology reveals fiendish experiments involving amputations of Octopi tentacles: "Self-Recognition Mechanism between Skin and Suckers Prevents Octopus Arms from Interfering with Each Other" [^]. Reported in the "popular press" here: [^].
What more tragic image could be conjured than that of an Octopus holding its own amputated tentacle in its beak ? And, described, in Current Biology in the following luridly heartless language:
"It is likely that the constraining effect of the self-avoidance mechanism led the octopuses to adopt the "spaghetti holding" behavior as the beak is the only organ that allows holding when the suckers action is inhibited." As if Octopi are not stricken with grief at losing a tentacle, and are not holding it in their beak to say a tender farewell.
Meanwhile FOOAAA (Friends Of Octopi Against Amputation Atrocities), in collaboration with PETA, EarthWatch, and Femen, are expected to launch clandestine protests including nude flash-mob events at major aquaria and centers of Octopi research.
Performance artist Nadazedha Matzemiya of FEMEN has scheduled a Paris opening for her performance-art solo: "Dance, Suckers, Dance," rumored to include a duet with a live Octopi kidnapped from the Aquarium de Paris, which was suddenly closed yesterday, and is now surrounded by commandos of the Brigade des Forces Spéciales Terre.
Jacques Derrida, famed post-modern deconstructive philosopher, has made a public statement decrying the experiments, suggesting that the amputations are "a metaphor for the inverted destructive force of post-capitalist pseudo-socialism manifested as a cross-species transference of the perception of autonomy as abomination."
As usual, a number of religious groups have featured this research in their latest newsletter, blogs, and video, as yet another sign of the End of the World.
“I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.” Jorge Luis Borges
