I am geek.

This remix of hapless Senator Ted Stevens explaining that the Internet "Is A Series of TUBES!" cracked me up. And I'd just found out that you can make your own ringtones with iTunes and put them on your Treo 650.

So I did it!* And now whenever my phone rings, instead of the normal boooring tones, I will hear "{screech} — it's a series of TUBES!... {screech} — it's a series of TUBES!" I will be the envy of all my peers. Or they'll just think I'm really weird. Yeah, the latter is more likely.



*For those who care: I took the original remix song, opened it in iTunes, picked a small section of it to use as the ringtone, set the starting and ending points (which you can do in File -> Get Info -> Options), went into advanced preferences, changed the settings so songs are now imported as WAV files (must remember to change it back!) and converted a copy of the song. Then I uploaded it to a website, and then loaded it onto my phone by going to the file location with my phone's browser. It gave me the option of saving the file into "Sounds", and now it's a ringtone I can choose from the menu. And it actually took longer to write about it than it took to do it.
