Happy New Year! I just found this nifty offer from Verizon Wireless. They are giving customers a free ringtone today only.

Details are on their website, but here are the simple steps. Remember it is valid December 31, 2006 from 12:00am to 11:59pm.

1. Go to Get It Now on your Verizon Wireless phone.
2. Click on Music & Tones
3. Get New Ringtones
4. Download or Access VZW Tones Deluxe
5. Pick & Purchase a Ringtone
6. Click Redemption Code and Enter “2007″

I will note that as of 3:00pm I am getting a “The network is temporarily unavailable. (1289)” error message when I click “getTones.”

Sorry for missing a few days. I blame it on a mishap with Slim-Fast and my wireless keyboard. More details on that shortly. Now, on to the links:
