- Art of Japanese Crosswords — It’s a game. Moreover, it’s a Japanese game. Created not so far (1987) by the Japanese puzzle-master Tetsuya Nishio, the game, however, soaked up the ancient culture and civilization. It’s an art. The pictures are simple, the drawing is logical, not creative; but when the puzzle is solved, you suddenly see some small piece of art created by your mind and your hands from the plain and unpretentious…
- ProSaver Screensaver Manager 1.0.1, Screensavers as Art — Years ago, in the times of single-task OSes and old monitors, the «screen-saver» concept was introduced as a must (because if the same picture remained on the old screen for too long, the picture would physically damage the screen and create «burnt-out pixels» on it.) Years have passed, and modern monitors have almost no need for «saving the screen». Nevertheless, screensavers are still alive and are becoming some kind…
- MP3DVU, A Great Journey Into Music — Music visualization is a boundless area. There are numerous stand-alone visualizers and visualization player plugins in the world. Each of them has its own definitions on what’s an «appropriate» picture and animation; each of them has its own style and quality, range of flexibility and hardware requirements. But MP3DVU beats them all by its specialty (and also by the fact that it’s free!) MP3DVU does…
- Museum of New Psychedelic Art — Although screensavers only occasionally appear on our displays, they greatly add to the aesthetic appeal of our computers, especially now, when the functional role of screensavers has drastically diminished due to the overall dominance of LCD monitors. Standard Windows screensavers are not even nearly as impressive as commercial products available on the market. If you are looking for a bright, eye-catching and unusual screensaver, check out…
- Perfect Clock, It's an Art — Numerous times a day we look at the clock — on the wall, on the desk, on our computer desktop… And what do we see? — A pair of arrows in a circle or a few digits around the blinking dots? Perfect Clock gives a whole different idea on clock and timing, presenting time as a perfect combination of punctuality, power and art. Perfect Clock is a very flexible desktop…
- Mandala Painter, An Entertaining Art — Even the prettiest flower on earth is actually a great combination of simpler shapes (petals), symmetrically repeated around the circle. This is also true about other «tricky» masterpieces — snowflakes, shining stars, and even the most unrealistic designs capturing our eye through the glass of a kaleidoscope. Too sad — all of those exciting figures soon just pass away, and the best we can do about that…
- Home Bookkeeping - a great way to find out where your money is going — People who say that they have absolutely no control over their spending and that their money goes through their fingers like water are not frank enough.

- NeoPaint: Great Looking Graphics? - You Can Do It! — The vast majority of drawings do not involve those cutting-edge features that are offered in those heavy-branded image editors; certainly, not for free. Public-domain applications, on the contrary, demonstrate poorer performance and are often not so easy to get along with — if they have necessary tools in the first place. A great response to the real-life drawing challenges is NeoPaint — a feature-packed and yet…
