Friday Chill Mix - Apr 9, 2010 (Don't miss this one)

Seize the weekend!
Am I ever excited about this one, you can’t miss this one, you NEED to listen it. I even used caps locks there for an important word.

I debated placing this one first or last, but here it is first in line because I’m so emphatically passionate about this song so let’s fire it up! First up is Flash’s delicious song Right Here, make sure you turn this one up proper. Make sure you are properly seated for this delightful bit of dubstep, for when the bass drops you are guaranteed an eargasm. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. From the dreamy vocals to the baby crib twinkling, this is one for sure you’ll get an intense chill from.

Next up is Jose Padilla’s Que Bonito. Jose is a resident DJ in CafĂ© del Mar bar on the island of Ibiza, Spain. Que Bonito is Spanish for ‘how pretty’ or ‘how beautiful’ and I think the name is apt for how Jose wove all the different layers together into a beautiful tapestry we can enjoy. Google some images of Ibiza, close your eyes, listen to this song, imagine you’re basking the warm sun on the beach in Ibiza. No need to thank me for the free vacation trip I’ve given you!

We end off two from Miguel Migs, a Californian DJ and producer. In Mesmerized the uploader filmed some footage from Toronto’s lovely transit system, used a relaxing house song as the soundtrack. I find this a most odd juxtaposition of opposition, as anyone that has commuted in Toronto during rush hour knows people are hardly relaxed then. So Far, a song featured on Hed Kandi (hence the picture) compilations. The smooth vocals and positive lyrics always give me a boost to my day, hope you guys enjoy these!

Light as furniture as light!

I do adore the second picture onward. I like the idea of lighting as usable furniture; it really saves a lot of space. Maybe your new foot rest can warm your feet as well?!

I did email Modoluce and they were very quick to respond to me. Unfortunately they only have an affiliate with a company in the States and not here in Canadia. That other company was quick to email me back as well so I may be doing business with them in the future.

Chill mix coming up for the weekend, this one will be a great one!

Heh, iPhone

Sunday Mar. 28th, switching themes constantly to run down the battery to zero so I can do a full recharge. This madness pops up!


Theme is Drawn2Me. 5 Icon Dock and 5 Column Springboard through Cydia. The Categories app as well through Cydia, so all my icons are in folders and I only have one page on my springboard.

The 3.1.3 patch does fix this, but forces you to at max have a tethered jailbreak. If you're coming pre-3.1.2 to 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 then you'd lose all your jailbreaking if you have done so already, not good. Shame on Apple for restricting themes, that is something I would pay money for. Shame on you for forcing a sterile boring interface on us. Thanks to the dev team for imparting on us this freedom of expression and beauty.


Why should you jailbreak your iPhone?
