When I get my own house one day, I want to install a doorbell that plays a unique ringtone - one that the owner downloads onto his doorbell.
For the sake of variety, I want a doorbell that that plays different ringtones at certain times of day - a morning tune that plays from 6 AM - Noon, a tune appropriate for the afternoon at that time, and etc.
Or, different ringtones for different days.
I suppose all it would take for ringtones to be downloaded onto doorbells is for its master-bell to have a USB port for thumb drives, then once a thumb drive is inserted, a tiny screen on the doorbell's master-bell asks you which songs to choose for upload, and etc. Or the master bell can communicate wirelessly with your laptop.
ARE THERE ANY DOORBELLS LIKE THAT? ANY AT ALL IN EXISTENCE?
If not, then you might be looking at its inventor! A ringtonable doorbell isn't too difficult to prototype now, is it?

My blog is now "BIG YES BOMB" because I found Jason Carter on Facebook one night and asked, "Are you...

Car horns that honk ringtones
We got tired of the old brick-phones' cliché rings, so someone got the idea to make them ringtonable by having the user download music onto it and choose them to play when someone calls.
In traffic, we're still stuck with the same, tired horns.
I think rush-hour and traffic jams would be far more entertaining to other motorists if I could play "The Legend of Zelda: Overworld Theme" through my horn.
If we can add more variety to our phones, why not add them to our cars???
I guess if nobody else has bothered to make car horns ringtonable, then maybe I should build a prototype of a ringtonable car horn.
But if somebody has, where can I buy them?
UPDATE: Cracked.com goes over them on #6 in this article.
