The CEO got a sweet new phone for Christmas. It has a nice camera too, and can easily connect to my laptop via Bluetooth, so more pictures are coming for Kjel.org. Remember that the next time you are acting stupid and the CEO whips out his phone . . .

Motorola I think intentionally provides very few rings with the phone (and all crappy), essentially forcing you to buy a ringtone. Selecting a ringtone is problematic: your ringtone says something about you, and you don’t want it saying “I am a loser” or “I am a hipster dufus trying too hard” or “I am an eyebrow tweezing metrosexual.” Unless of course that is what you are trying to say.

Unfortunately most music ringtones are of just the chorus or the part of the song that includes the song title, and they often sound dumb because of it — I’d much rather have the instrumental intro in most cases. That being said on my old phone I had Journey (”Anyway you want it, that’s the way you need it, anyway you want it”) as the ringtone. It was dumb, true, but it was my tribute to Rodney Dangerfield so that made it OK. “So what? So let’s dance!”

RIP Rodney.
