Back from Hiatus: Keeping Cell Phones Findable on Vibrate

Good morning everyone,

I hope everyone is having a pleasant Fall Break. Here is a tip for everyone that likes to keep their cell phones on vibrate, courtesy of LifeHacker.com:

"Matt shows us how to keep your cell phone on vibrate without losing it:

I prefer to keep my cell phone on vibrate all the time. Its just easier for me. But it poses a problem because I tend to lose my phone a lot, so calling it to find it is pretty much pointless. What I've done is set all my default tones to no ring (calls, txts, etc), and turned vibrate on for all. Then I set a custom ringer on my skype number, so if I need to call it to find it I can, and it still makes a full noise, without annoying me the rest of the day"
