<p><a href="http://www.carmanavenue.com/i-dont-see-nothing-wrong-with-a-little-bump/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>Bump makes it so easy to share contact information (or a <a href="http://twitpic.com/1sb90" target="_blank">photo of my cat</a>) that even <a href="http://twitter.com/justinkownacki" target="_blank">Justin Kownacki</a> may <a href="http://justinkownacki.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-dont-want-to-meet-you.html" target="_blank">want to meet you</a>. So download the free app, update your contact information (I just added my AIM/Twitter user name) and get ready to fist bump like a Nobel Prize winner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently bought an iPhone because it turns out that my BlackBerry was not waterproof — it is a long story and does not make me look good. I&#8217;ve only downloaded one app so far (<a href="http://tweetdeck.com/iphone/" target="_blank">TweetDeck</a>), since my main use of this particular rounded box of Apple is as a phone. I haven&#8217;t even chosen desktop wallpaper, because I have no problem with <a href="http://appleology.com/images/earth2.jpg" target="_blank">Earth</a>, but I could not live with the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNE_Ai5Q7ew" target="_blank">default ringtone</a>.</p>
<p>Rather than offing myself, I decided to change the ringtone. I was surprised to discover that although Apple has pre-loaded the iPhone with no less than twenty-five ringtones, <em>not one</em> of them defines me as a person. Apparently, there are no less than twenty-six types of people.</p>
<p>Ringtones represent a small revenue stream for Apple, since you can convert songs purchased through the iTunes store into ringtones for 99¢ per track — if the track has the bell symbol. I cannot afford $.99 because I just bought an expensive phone, so I decided to utilize one of Apple&#8217;s free features and make the damn thing myself using iTunes 8.</p>
<p>This process only works with DRM-free songs, so I chose an album I had purchased from Amazon.com: <em>Has Been</em> by William Shatner. &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00136PN9S/ref=dm_dp_trk1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1247501933&amp;sr=8-2" target="_blank">Common People</a>&#8221; is actually my favorite track on that album, and one of my favorite songs of all time, but I&#8217;ve always felt that <a href="http://www.hellohenry.com/2007/11/27/henry-rollins-ringtones/" target="_blank">Henry Rollins would make a good ringtone</a>. I&#8217;ve shared the &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00136NHIC/ref=dm_dp_trk10?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1247501933&amp;sr=8-2" target="_blank">I Can&#8217;t Get Behind That</a>&#8221; ringtone with a few good people on <a href="http://twitter.com/CarmanAvenue/status/2593689188" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p>I encourage you to <a href="http://www.intomobile.com/2008/10/07/iphone-ringtones-create-free-iphone-ringtones-using-itunes-8.html" target="_blank">make your own ringtone using iTunes 8</a>, but if you happen to be a 26th type of person just like me, you can download the <a href="http://www.carmanavenue.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/10-i-cant-get-behind-that-1.m4r">Shat-ollins ringtone</a>.</p>
