Napster. Just the thought of that word brings back memories of 1999. Illegal music downloads. It was the KING of illegal downloads back in the day. After being shutdown, it spawned an entire army of wannabe “programs” (apps only existed as the snack you ate, before you actually ate) that mimicked its style and functionality. All of them were subsequently shutdown, too. But eventually Napster said, “My bad” and cleaned up its image to become a legitimate music streaming service. One that nobody took very seriously. It went belly up and was resurrected a few times, but largely hasn’t been heard of in over 20 years.
Until now.
A metaverse brand called Infinite Reality just paid $207 MILLION for it. Yep. Not $207, but rather $207,000,000.
They must feel confident in the investment. But then again, what’s a measly $207m these days anyway!? 😳😳

Well, we are definitely at a weather turning point. This week is (meteorologically) the coldest week of the winter. Historically, this week lives up to it, too. It seems the third week of January is when we tend to see some high temperatures stay subzero. Things could certainly change, but as of right now it […]

There’s a Light at the End of the Tunnel!
I mean it! There literally is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is more daylight! OK, before I get too excited, let me explain. Tomorrow is the first day of winter. And it’s also the shortest visible daylight day of the year. The days will then start getting longer. This […]
