Deseret Towers lives on!

So. . . I was looking at Google Maps the other day and happened to click on the Street View around Heritage Halls at BYU. And guess what I found? Deseret Towers! They’re still there on the images on Google. Along with the big pile of dirt where the other two towers used to be across the parking lot.

Oh, the memories.

Below is one of these views from Google Maps here. This one if Q Hall seen from the north side. There’s also a view of the Morris Center, U Hall, and the Dirt Pile.

Maybe some time in the future they’ll redo the images and DT will disappear forever from the annals of history that are Google. But for now, it’s a nice bit of nostalgia.

OC Remix in Guardia

A friend introduced me to OC Remix quite a while ago, and I recently rediscovered one of the songs I liked. I also downloaded a few others and have been thoroughly enjoying them. I thought I’d post the links for any of you who are fans of remixed video game music. I’ve never actually played any of these games, but the music is pretty sweet. Enjoy!

• From Chrono Trigger, based on “Guardia’s Millenial Fair”:
  • “Blue Skies Over Guardia” The original one introduced to me. It’s in an unusual 7/4 meter. Very intriguing.
  • “Jethro and Vash at the Fair” Also in 7/4
  • “Millenial Fair 2001″ A techno version of the same theme
  • “Millenial Mountain (Delightful Disco Mix)”
• Other games:
  • Metroid Prime 2: Echoes “Torvus Clockwork”
  • Super Metroid “Heat Vision”

Below you can listen to “Blue Skies Over Guardia”:
