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!? 😳😳

Do you do this??
For as long as I can remember, I have been a fingernail chewer. When you think about it, it is actually really disgusting. And, somehow, I am a germ fanatic at the same time. I know they say that some people chew their fingernails because they are anxious. For me, it must be a subconscious […]

Anyone Can Do Anything.
In my last blog, I wrote about Autism Awareness Month and what it means. Today, I want to share a story that I read this morning that signifies how far people on the autism spectrum can go. A friend of mine lives in Northern Michigan and saw this post on a community Facebook forum. It […]
