Ringtone Blues?

I got tired of the ringtones on my phone, so I decided to investigate the possibilities without spending the$e po$$ibly.

This is what I determined. Ringtones are a joke. You buy a song in itunes and then itunes lets you "create" a ringtone (snippit of a song you have already bought) and then charge you another $1 for it. Rediculous. So...I figured out a few things. If you want a ringtone then buy your song. Be sure it's the new DRM Free from itunes+ (v7.2 aka. The buck twenty-nine version) and then right click on it in itunes and convert it to an mp3*. If you aren't using itunes the goal is ultimately to find and mp3 file. Then find a program you can edit audio in. It really not that hard. I have a cell phone program that creates ring tones from mp3's easily. You may want to download audacity or something like it.

Next clip your file so that it is shorter like 25 - 30 secs. Now you have to have access to the internet via your cell phone, if not then you need a cable or bluetooth wireless adaptor. Otherwise, continue to listen to your current ringtones. Next go to the cool site: http://www.file2fone.com/ . Follow the directions and upload your ringtone. Next, in your cell phone, browse to the same sight and add /key.php then you will have a field to type in your key. It will soon prompt you to download a file. This is your file that you just uploaded. And it's free!
Enjoy!

* note: you may have to modify itunes preferences to do this. It's under Edit/Prefs/Advanced/importing :drop down menu to mp3.

Sweet Assist!

Encore, better video.

Green with Envy?

Okay. I'm gonna say it. This glorified golfcart has some kind of appeal to me.

Okay. There. I said it. Are you happy?

So what do you think of the car?

Signs of the Times

I went to the hospital tonight to see a friend and as I am leaving I see one the guys on the left approaching and to my dismay as I am driving away I notice his flashing strobe light comes on and he proceeds to. . . you guessed it, pull me over! I got stopped by policeman on a segway.

Can you believe it? I felt like I was in a dream and it was the year 2095 and I was being stopped for still driving a car that used petroluem instead of the much more eco-friendly fusion car.

And why did he stop me?

Just to tell me how to get out of the parking lot. "It's dark and it's hard to see the arrows to exit." he said. And just for clarification, it was only a security guard, but certainly looked like a cop.

Ready? Set. Okay, GO!
