Open Letter From Mario To Nintendo (Found on Digg.com)

2008-03-17T15:52:00.002-04:00

Dear Nintendo,

We’ve been in a business relationship for quite a while now, and to be honest, I never used to have any complaints about my job. I mean sure, my line of work has never really been considered “easy” by any means, but in the early days it just felt so much more… rewarding.

Do you get what I’m saying guys? I wasn’t too fond of chasing a huge ape up a series of ladders, but with that fine-ass Pauline waiting for me, I didn’t mind. Same thing with running around Mushroom Kingdom, I don’t mind taking out a few Koopas since I know Peach is going to be waiting for me. (”At another castle”…God that joke gets so old)

But recently, you have been forcing me to do shit that just isn’t in my job description. I remember the first time Shigeru called me up. “Yo Mario, wanna go to a party? How about 8 of them?” And of course I said yes. That’s because my idea of a party is knockin back a few cold ones with some buds, some drinking games with the ladies, and maybe Superbad. But no, you twisted fucks’ idea of a party is to have me and all the assholes I hate run around in circles for twenty minutes. That’s not a party, that’s a track and field meet. Which brings me to my next point.

Have you seen my waistline in the last few years? I would assume not, because you’ve got me playing more sports than Michael Jordan. What on God’s green Earth gives you the slightest thought that I would make a good soccer player? Have you seen how long a fucking soccer field is? It’s ridiculous. While we’re talking about ridiculous things, whose bright idea was it for me to compete in Olympic events against Sonic of all people? He was about to retire anyways, but no Nintendo, you just had to bring him back and have him compete against me in track events. What were you thinking? He runs so fast you can’t see his fucking feet.

Finally, as I’m sure you’re all well aware, for most of my life, the enemies I have faced have all been relatively tame, being dispatched with a simple jump or three at the most. Now you want to take me and make me battle to the death against a man with a gun? I can punch him, he can shoot fucking bullets at me! You’re all assholes, I hate you.

Die in a Fire,

Mario

How To Create iPhone Ringtones (Mac OS X)

2008-02-18T19:38:00.006-05:00

Downloads:

Fission - http://www.rogueamoeba.com/fission/index.php
MakeiPhoneRingtone - http://www.rogueamoeba.com/freebies/
iTunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes

Please note that Fission is not freeware, but it is the greatest loose-less audio editor that I have ever used, so I really recommend purchasing it from these guys. You might use any other audio editors to trim your MP3 or AAC file such as Audacity which I'm not really familiar with.

1. First fire up Fission and open the .mp3 or .aac file that you would like to edit.

2. On the top part of the window click right below the sound graph until you get a yellow triangle this is going to be your starting point so drag this triangle over to where you want your ringtone to start.

3. Drag the other triangle to where you want your ringtone to end (Max. 40secs)

4. Click on crop and go ahead and click on File/ Save As. Save the file to your desktop.

5a. If you have an mp3 file skip to step 6

5b. If the file is an .aac file you are ready to open up MakeiPhoneRingtone and drag the edited file to that window to have it added to your iTunes Ringtones Library. You are done :)

6. If you have an MP3 file drag it over to your iTunes library, click on View/ View Options and Select "Kind" Click "OK"

7. Search for the file that you just added to the library it might be easier to sort by time and look for the 30-40 seconds file. Right Click the file and select Convert Selection to AAC. File is going to convert and you are going to have two files with the same name. (One MP3 and one AAC)

8. If you like you can delete the MP3 from your iTunes library. Drag the AAC file from your iTunes library onto your desktop to make a copy of it. You can now get rid of the AAC file on your iTunes library since we have a copy on the desktop.

9. Open up MakeiPhoneRingtone and drag the AAC file that we drug out of the iTunes library window into the MakeiPhoneRingtone and the ringtone is going to come up on your Ringtones Library. You are done..

Please comment if you find an easier way of doing this. This is the method I currently use to make my own ringtones without having to buy iToner.
