Making your own iPhone ringtones in under 10 steps
Story so far: I went and stood in line on the morning of July 12th at 0850. There were some 30 and odd people ahead of me. I was able to get into the store at 1231 and I walked out with my very own 8gb black iPhone at 1252. I love this thing. It’s super nice, but Steve Jobs requires that I purchase ring tones for 99 cents off of iTunes to be able to use them with my phone.
I have several problems with this business model:
1. I own my music, I own my iPhone, and I’m not paying anyone anything to give me a 30 second clip of my music.
2. Especially considering *I* don’t get to choose which 30 seconds of the song I want as my ring tone.
3. See 1 and 2 above.

So I learned Ruby.
