“Have you ever wondered if the Christian image of heaven is true? Like you die and there’s Saint Peter and he’s itemizing your tally of sin?” “All the time.

iPhone Ringtone

Wednesday, January 10, 2007

Here, I wrote a little ringtone for your iPhone. That has a nice sound, “ringtone for your iPhone ringtone for your iPhone.” I could say it all day. It wasn’t announced, but I’ll bet the iPhone will let you use any mp3 or aac for your ringtone. Sure, the phone will cost $500, but with [...]
