Creating Custom Ringtones
Over a cup of coffee at Starbucks this morning Eric asked me about the custom ringtones on my mobile phone, specifically how I get exactly what I want and how I transfer it to the phone. I’ve looked through the software shelves at Fry’s, BestBuy, CompUSA and other places, and there are lot of packages […]

(3) runs for some of the 159 yards on 26 carries he racked up for Milton High School. Martin also scored two touchdown in the 19-0 whitewashing […]

A Clean PC is a Happy PC.
