Hi, folks. I had an idea last week that I meant to post on Station Manager Ken's show this morning, but this may be a good a place as any to toss it out: WFMU ringtones. I thought it'd be cool to be able to download from 4 or 5 choices. When your phone rings, any 'FMU listeners in the vicinity could identify another listener.

My first email was prodigy, back in 1989. I only emailed a friend of mine a few times, and the novelty wore off, as no one else had email. It wasn't until 1993 that I actually started using it again, and then I went to college, where the university gave us a free accountwas mostly used to communicate w/ my professors and classmates. Damn, I was boring. I didn't even make a website until '98 (again, for academic purposes). I found WFMU online in '98 and only my work could handle the tinny sound, so, when I worked late, I would listen to WFMU. Two years later, I would be able to listen terrestrially.

I just need to fix that static problem. It's intermittent and somewhat infuriating. Otherwise, it has pretty good fidelity. The other minus, it being such an old phone, there's no speed dial or memory. I must manually redial, like in the old days.
