Phone Tones

Phone Tones
Had a phone upgrade from my old SPV C500 to a shiny new SPV C600 and now I can use MP3s for my ringtones (instead of having to convert them to the proprietary WMA format). Yay!

Now have a nice Infected Mushroom ringtone

Infecting the UK
from the Deeply-Disturbed dept.

Went to see Infected Mushroom live on Saturday night/sunday morning. The DJ sets before and after were amazing, but when Infected came on, they raised the bar to a whole new level. Totally amazing!

Technology meets fashion
from the t-shirts-with-batteries dept.

Just bought a couple of t-shirts from CyberDog in Camden. God I love that place! The first t-shirt has a battery-powered, sound-activated VU Meter panel on the front. The other one has a scrolling red LED text panel, which has 6 programmable memory slots of up to 256 characters each.

Not cheap, but very appealing to PsyTrance geeks like me!

Get a life - a Second one
from the can't-be-any-worse dept.

Signed up for a Second Life account now that I have a 3D card and they have a Linux client. Looks good so far, but I have a lot to learn about how to do stuff. I like a challenge though.

Oh, if you're already a Second Lifer, you'll find me under the name "Fungleberry Sapwood". No, I don't know why either.
