I am the über-geek

April 21, 2004

I am far too happy with my new mobile phone. This is not because I now can actually use the phone everywhere in my apartment rather than standing right up at the window. It is not because I was able to transfer my address book and calendar quickly and easily thanks to Bluetooth and iSync. It is not because I can use it to post snazzy photos like this one:

Rather, what has me most excited is the fact that it can use standard MIDI files as ringtones. Why is that so exciting? Thanks to this site my phone rings "Walk- Don't Run," by The Ventures. Yes, I am fully aware that this is the last qualification I need to become some kind of über-nerd. But.. Walk- Don't Run! Surf rock as a ring tone!

Of course, what makes this even more pathetic is the fact that I leave the phone on silent most of the time.
