RabbitKadabra

Little Emily is joyfully riding her kick scooter through the streets until, that is, she stumbles upon an unusually looking structure in a hidden part of the town. Trying to satisfy her curiosity Emily enters the failing magic shop, as it turns out to be, where she is quickly greeted by the shop's owner and given a magical mechanical stuffed rabbit. Eager to see what her new toy can do she rushes to her room and brings the rabbit to life expecting a breathtaking magic show. What she gets, however, is much more than she have ever bargained for. All in all, RabbitKadabra is a beautifully crafted four minute treat for kids and adults alike. So be sure to take a peek!

My Foolish Heart: Sootiness, Sonsy Girl

My Foolish Heart is a beautiful acoustic, alternative pop rock duo that was initially formed back in 2007. They started out doing covers of anything from Buddy Holly to Britney's Toxic and now they've finally branched out to release their own tracks. Sootiness, Sonsy Girl is their latest compilation. It's a beautiful mixture of melodies, acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies that's intertwined with a reflective, laid-back mood. Most of the songs were recorded with as minimal use of technology as possible. Opting instead for a cleaner, more raw performance by playing instruments that resound with an orchestra feel rather than electronics. Certainly, a nice album to retreat to.

If you're looking for something to kill time or if you want an entertaining game that even your child play, then go ahead and grab this one. It's absolutely free.

Clownage: Premiers Maux

Clownage is a four piece high energy indie rock band from Paris, France. Their sound touches on Muse's arena rock formula but creates it's own identity with their incorporation of the melody into every song. Lead singer/guitarist Jérôme Litré-Froment has a strong voice that has a good amount of range and an impassioned delivery in both French and English lyrics. Guitarist Louis Teran, bassist Olivier Crescence, and drummer Jérôme Ceva all make a concerted attempt to change up the sounds and timing that make for an album of memorable and hummable songs.

Gapminder

On February 2006 Hans Rosling, a well known statistics guru, entered a stage at the TEDtalks and forever changed the way most of the people in the audience and around the world (as the video of his speech has been already seen by millions) looked at data. Developed by Rosling software does more than simply display the data - it brings them to life! The animations transform provided statistics into moving bubbles and flowing curves that make development and global trends (or any other set of data you wish to visualize) clear, intuitive, and even playful.
