Review|Extraordinary Ways (Special Edition) (2005)

Category: Music
Genre: Dance & DJ
Artist: Conjure One
This is one of the better Ambient/Down-tempo albums I've had the pleasure of listening to. Rhyss Fulber's [from Delerium and Front Assembly] does fantastic work by imbuing enthralling vocals with electronic beats and melodies. It might seem biased but my fave tracks on this album are the ones featuring Poe... One Word, Extraordinary Ways, and Endless Dream are all great. Forever Lost featuring Chemda is nice as well. Something struck me as odd though and to me the intro to Beyond Being sounds a whole lot like Stairway to Heaven (Led Zep)???

Since this is a special edition release there are 3 extra tracks:
Endless Dream (Virus-V High Speed Mix) [so-so]
Extraordinary Ways (Antillas Club Mix) [uhm... maybe on a second or third listen it'll be better]
Endless Dream (Virus-V Chillout Mix) [male vocals?! wtf?!]

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well. I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
