Speaking of the iPhone, it turns out I might actually be able to buy one when it comes out. According to Verizon, my cellular contract expires on 07/07/07… perfect timing for the June release of the iPhone. Awesome!

iPhone Ringtone
So, how about that iPhone? I watched the keynote last night and I was amazed at all of the features. Who couldn’t be? If only it was available outside of Cingular…
When I’m at work, blasting Red Hot Chili Peppers when I get a call is a bit annoying to other people, so I use the standard ring sound. It sounds pretty boring though. In contrast, when Steve was demonstrating receiving a call during the keynote, I thought the ringtone that the iPhone played sounded pretty good. I isolated the ringtone and wrapped in a little MP3 that now plays whenever I get a call now. I think I might just use it for everything…

University of Illinois Decision Deferred
How anti-climatic: my admission decision to the University of Illinois has been deferred until March 1. Countdown updated, now only 75 more days to go. Very depressing and stressful, because now I have to consider the worst-case scenario and apply to more colleges before the new year.

Recently Played: Valencia
The Space Between by Valencia is a fast pop-punk track that features urgent drums with a melodic moments. I think it’s worth a listen, or check out the music video.

MySpace Profile Facelift
About a month ago, I followed the excellent guide to style a MySpace profile over at Mike Industries. He detailed many details about the challenges he faced in his blog that I shared when doing my own (still awful) modifications when I first signed up for a MySpace. I never thought I would be able to have my profile look as appealing as his styled goodness, however, he was nice enough to include some sample CSS for all to enjoy. Finally, I can seperate myself from the thousands of awful profiles that litter MySpace. Yay for Mike!I took his code and with some changes and my own graphics I finally have a MySpace profile worth looking at (see screenshot at right). I’m very happy with it: it’s about as good as it could look without overlaying the whole page or commenting out chunks of HTML. Check it out, and have a look at Mike’s guide to make your own.
