Valerie
For dreamy soundscapes to perk up your mood, Sparks EP is a treasure trove. The man behind the sound is Ann Arbor, Michigan native, Jeremy Malvin or better known as Chrome Sparks. This young producer is just starting out but he’s already making waves. Sparks EP is his latest effort and comes with 6 electro/dance tracks brandishing the producer’s skill to make any sound smooth and lush.

Wings 3D

Mel
Mention 3D graphics and people think of programs that cost in the thousands of dollars. However, Wings 3D is a powerful modeler that is totally free. It was created by Björn Gustavsson, Dan Gudmundsson and the rest of the Wings 3D Development Team. It’s a sophisticated program, capable of modeling human figures, creatures, vehicles, and so on. The program uses a graphical interface instead of icons. You use the keyboard and mouse to change an object’s geometry. Four selection modes are available: Body, Face, Edge and Vertex. Make no mistake about it; Wings 3D has a lot of tools. Each mode comes with its own set of modelers and editors. Its auto-UV feature makes adding textures easy.

Canto el Cuerpo Eléctrico

Valerie
With short pops of energy, this self titled debut from Canto el Cuerpo Electrico is a likable compilation even if you may not speak the language. Carrying a simple acoustic pop sound, the album is filled with 10 cuts recorded by Lautaro Barcelo and crew.

Dead on Arrival

Mel
The zombie survival horror genre is crowded, but Dead on Arrival is still worthy of a look, combining elements of classic survival horror with good old fashioned arcade style shooting. This combo doesn’t always work but N3V Games has managed to pull it off here.

Tomboy

Tomboy is a note taking application available for Mac, Windows and Linux. Courtesy of the Tomboy development team, it provides an easy way to take down notes and reminders. While there are a lot of apps that can do this, what sets Tomboy apart is the fact that it uses a Wiki-like interface, making it easy to see and relate notes and ideas.
