Still digging out on your e-mails, corporate e-mails (ahh, Sallie Mae and the joys of their Bangalore call center) and I will get to you all. I totally forgot what a heck of a month August would be regarding 1998 (return to Austin), 1988 (my first Summer in Milwaukee) and 1983 (a frantic Summer that never let up until school). Normally, it’s a slow month, even most of Europe is on reduced hours.
Of course that hasn’t stopped me from tinkering with my new toy…I mean tool, aka the iPhone. I learned from my friend Jeremy how to create ringtones via Garage Band. I already loved the application, just have been neglecting over the last couple years because I haven’t had the time to make a new “song.” However, making a ringtone is easier than falling off a log, or should it be a balance beam due to the Olympics being on TV right now?
So here’s the deal. If you have a particular song (or sound effect) which you think represents you, tell me. You can e-mail it to me at my last name at me dot com (spelling it out like this prevents robots from spamming me). Braver people can post theirs in the Comments section to share with others. Otherwise, I will pick out something that comes to my mind or flawed memories. Oh, and if you have a favorite picture or symbol helps; trust me, the iPhone does do the “thing with the picture” like the commercials.
Currently Somara’s is Wolfmother’s “Woman.” I may change it eventually, it was something I wanted to use for a while back but the beta software I tried in the past never worked.
Jose has “Dude” by Owsley for old time’s sake.
Nelson has a Star Trek sound effect because he is the biggest fan of the series I know. Mind you, he has a life. He may resemble Robert Picardo but he isn’t a Trekkie who’d go around in public wearing a Starfleet uniform or rubber ears.
I excitedly await your selections…and Helen, you’re my next “victim” for a ringtone.
