En Agosto (In August)

En Agosto (In August) is a 15 minute short film by Da-Fragma, Fabrca de Pelculas in asssociaton with Oruga Animations Studios. Released in 2008, this skillfully done in 2D and 3D animation drama had already garnered recognition from renowned film festivals including the Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films. Written and directed by Andrs Barrientos and Carlos Andrs Reyes, the film tells the story of a city transformed by a great flood. A young shaman woman from the future senses a powerful premonition while an old man in the present time awaits the end of the world on a day prophesized by his deceased wife. Though vastly apart by time, the two characters are united by a single vision and reality.

Rachel Ries: Without a Bird

Hailing from South Dakota, classically trained singer, pianist, violinist and violist, Rachel Ries astonishes with her brand of music. Although this album is a couple of years old, it's still worth listening to. Without a Bird is Rachel's second album and composed of a folk jazzy sound with beautiful lyrics. It first came out back in 2007 under Rachel's own So Dak Records. Her first album, For You Only, was initially released back in 2005 and was completely recorded in a vintage analog system. This second album was also done in analog, thus exuding a beautiful vintage feel. It's the type of songs you'll want to play at home on a laid back evening, relaxing and just taking in the moment.

Air Penguin

This is one game where instead of the birds, penguins get their share of the spotlight. Developed by GameEvil, who is no newbie on the block and has already released various titles on nearly all of the mobile platforms, Air Penguin is one of those sweet games meant for all ages and mind you, it is highly addictive. Air Penguin is set in Antarctica and the protagonist is a cute, fat, little blue penguin with a grumpy face. His objective is to journey through the icy South Pole to help save his family from the melting ice-caps. Players need to make the penguin jump from one circular ice blobs, to another. Not very complicated, but not a walk-in-the-park either.

Giraffe: There Is No Devil

Carrying the moniker, Giraffe for this record, James Gardner releases his second compilation: There is No Devil. The album is a lush collection of folk, country alternative that's perfect for fans of artists like Bon Iver or similar soft folk singers. The songs resonate with acoustic guitars, beautiful singing and a catchy (sometimes odd) melody fit for most folk lovers. It's an album that could serve as a worthy background to a laid back afternoon where you just want some simple but engaging music to keep you company.
