Funkadelic Playground Thoughts from The Shrop

So I was a bit bored with my iPhone ringtones. I Decided to create a ringtone from Jeff Robbins' "The Drupal Song." You can download the ringtone I created below. Once downloaded, double click the file and it will be added to your iTunes library under the ringtones category.

I completed all of the meta data I could, including a reference to the original song blog post http://www.lullabot.com/audiocast/the_drupal_song.

Enjoy!!!

I am just loving BeatMaker. BeatMaker is a music application for the iPhone that is similar to other loop creations applications like Reason. It is available at in the iTunes App Store. You can read more about it here: http://www.intua.net/products.html

I feel like one of the lucky US iTunes users who was able to quickly purchase the application NetShare while it was available in iTunes for a few hours two weeks ago. NetShare allows you to surf the web on a wireless computer/laptop using your iPhone's Internet connection.

YouVersion (www.youversion.com) is one of my favorite web/iPhone apps out there right now. Check out the blog post below to find out how the new iPhone app is changing Bible publishing.

Other thoughts about my 3G iPhone adventures since Friday:

• Got in line around 6:40 am Friday for the 3G iPhone purchase. Walked out the door with a working 3G iPhone around 10:30am and a non activated 1st gen iPhone for my Wife. Wasn't able to activate her phone at home till around 4pm due to the iTunes activation issues. I then restored her iPhone to the official 2.0 firmware without restoring data so she had a fresh phone to start. She loves it BTW!

I am not a Basecamp user (yet), but this iphone app may make Basecamp more inviting to me. Something to check out at least.

The video below would have saved me a ton of time yesterday! Thanks to www.appleiphoneschool.com for the news on this video.

I was jazzed about the WWDC Keynote before it started yesterday. I was all setup with twitter, ichat, plurk, macrumors, engadget, ustream audio, etc. The live ustream audio feed was very helpful. Thanks to my friends for pointing me to that link. I will catch the full video tonight on my AppleTV so I can get the full experience.

I am going to give this app a try soon. Requires jailbroken iPhone.

http://twitter.com/mattparker tipped me off to this cool iPhone app yesterday. IntelliScreen allows you to view upcoming appointments, new emails, new SMS messages, the weather forecast, etc on the "slide to unlock" screen. It is very handy to have this information for quick checks without unlocking your iPhone and opening applications.
