Create custom ringtones for the iPhone with your Mac

10 01 2009

I found instructions on how to create ringtones via iTunes, but found an easier way using GarageBand.

These instructions, BTW, only work on a Mac.

I’m not going to include the nitty-gritty details, but all you have to do is:

1. Open GarageBand (4.11) and iTunes (7.5 and up).
2. Drag-and-drop the song you want to turn into a ringtone.
3. Turn on “Cycle” and set the start end end times (usually 30 seconds).
4. Click on Share | Send Ringtone to iTunes.
5. You simply need to sync the Ringtones with your iPhone and that’s it.

Enjoy and choose an awesome ringtone, please.



WordPress for iPhone

My recent acquisition of an iPhone has simplified my digital world tremendously. I found myself using my laptop less as the iPhone has most of the capabilities I need – email, surfing, Facebook, IM, etc.

The only missing capability or app was an easy way to post to my blog, which I haven’t posted to in a very long time. Well, the search is over. The WordPress folks built an iPhone-specific tool. Check it out at:

Enjoy and happy blogging! Oh, and Happy New Year!

T-Mobile has made it official: It plans to introduce the first mobile phone running Google’s Android software at a September 23rd press conference in New York.

This could very well be the first Google (Android) phone.  We’ll have to wait and see.  In any case, I can’t wait!
