I just disconnected my Twitter account from my Facebook account. No longer will my Twitter updates appear on my Facebook page. Why? I’m tired of using Twitter as my primary content publishing tool. I’m limited to 140 characters which seems so ADHD. I’ve also decided that I want this website to be my content. I can post from my iPhone so it’s mobile, and I can have my photo gallery and videos all in one spot too. Onward and upward!

New Updates

i’ve made a lot of changes to this, my neglected blog. I was seduced by Twitter and thought I would both tweet and post here. I was wrong. I hope to replace my Twitter usage with posts here.

Create iPhone Ringtones from Any .mp3

“Ring, ring”, “Ring, ring”. The family watched “Bedtime Stories” last weekend and Adam Sandler has a very distinctive ringtone in the movie. I liked it so much that I HAD to have it for my iPhone. iTunes, however, seems to be very stingy with it’s ringtones. It shows that you can make ringtones out of certain selections in your iTunes library but not anything you want. What to do? Enter: THE INTERNET!
There are many sites that share this but I’ll tell you how to do it also:
The song you want to use must reside on the local hard drive of the PC/Mac you are using
Right-click the song and choose “Get Info”, click the “Options” tab, then enter a start time and a stop time for the clip. It has to be 30 seconds or less. Click on “OK”.
Right-click the song again and choose “Convert selection to AAC”. Then delete the song from your iTunes library but choose to save the file when asked.
Find the converted song (it will have a “.m4a” extension) on your hard drive. Change the extension to “.m4r”.
Add the new file back to iTunes. It will automatically go to the “Ringtones” folder.
Synch your phone and make the change on your phone.
