LOST – ringtones

I’ve been thinking about doing a regular post on here that contains links to my current ringtones. Whether or not I follow up with this is anyone’s guess, but I’ll at least start with two I made today.

LOST may be over, but I have a friend who’s currently worked his way through the series. Our conversations along the way have caused me to reminisce and miss the series, so I found a couple of soundbytes from around the interwebs and came up with the following:

  1. “Smokey” – this is a looping sound of everyone’s favorite Smoke Monster. It’s a great sound, but it’s not perfect because it lacks that sweet horn/siren thing that announces it’s coming. Download it here.
  2. “Dharma” – this is the intro to one of the Dharma videos (the first one, I think). Complete with warbley tape defects. Download it here.

Just download the files and drag them into the “Ringtones” area of iTunes. Sync with your iPhone (check your settings) and your done.

Vacation Highlights

This past week, we joined some of our extended family for a few days of vacation in Utica, IL at Starved Rock. We stayed at Grizzly Jack’s Grand Bear Resort with an indoor water and amusement parks and did a little hiking at the state parks.

We had a great time of reconnecting with family and having some fun. We got lost in the woods, saw my niece takes some of her first steps and drove each other a bit crazy at times. Check out the highlights in the video below (or watch it on our youtube page).

By the way, the song in the video is “Lisztomania” by Phoenix. You can pick up their album at amazon.com.

book review – “The Power of a Whisper”

Bill Hybels’ new book The Power of a Whisper is a good read with a great message. It’s a simple but important message every follower of Christ needs to hear. I’m not sure what I expected when Zondervan sent me a copy of the book to review, but it’s not what I thought it would [...]

book review – “Exponential”

Somehow I ended up on the the email lists of a few book publishers. I get several offers to review books on my blog, but many of them just don’t interest me and I don’t have the time for the extra reading (especially on topics that don’t apply). But every once in a while, I [...]

goonies never say die

25 years ago today, something remarkable happened. The movie Goonies opened in theaters. To be honest, I can’t remember the first time I watched it, but as a kid it was one of those movies I couldn’t get enough of. Few films I watched during my childhood have left as strong of an impression on [...]

lost: the end

After just about 2 hours of contemplation, I’m going to go ahead and give my take on the LOST finale. If you want to avoid spoilers or have no interest in the show, this probably isn’t for you. The last 10 minutes of the show no doubt threw most people for a loop. I have [...]
