I’m developing a new card game called Los Rudos. It’s going to be a cross between Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon using pictures from Flickr. Here are the first few prototype cards.
Eventually, I’d like to build an interface where people can easily create and submit their own Los Rudos cards. First, I need to finalize the rules.
I just got a new cell phone, the Samsung SPH-M500. It’s shiny and red! I immediately went to the ringtone store and ordered Natural Born Killaz and Lodi Dodi at $2.50 each to pimp out my phone. That price is ridiculous. I can pay $1.00 for the whole song at the Apple store, but it’s over double the price for just a snippet of a ringtone. Also, the quality is crap and only lasts for 3 months! So, I decided to make my own ringtone out of Dr. Dre’s classic song Deez Nuts and here’s how to do it:
Get Audacity.
Import your mp3 and trim it down to a 10-20 second snippet.
Export the track to mp3.
IMPORTANT: rename the file extension from mp3 to 3g2. (This tricks the phone into thinking the mp3 is a video file, but it will still play as a mp3)
Connect the phone to the computer.
Select Tools>Mass Storage>Connect to PC.
On your PC:
Open up the usbdisk.
Open the folder DCIM (if it’s not there, create it).
Open the folder 100SSMED in the DCIM folder (if it’s not there, create it).
Drop your ringtone into the 100SSMED folder.
Eject the USB from your computer.
On your phone:
Press Done to disconnect.
Go to Settings>Sounds>Ringer Type>Voice Calls>(and either With Caller ID or No Caller ID — your choice!)
Select My Videos.
Select Memory Card.
Select the box with the X.
Have someone call you. If you hear your beautiful ringtone, you’re done!
Screw Sprint and the $2.50 low quality expiration date ringtones! Hopefully, this phone will last me until the Star Trek phone finally debuts.
