There's no way in hell I'd sign up for the new Napster or any of these other subscription services. I have to pay a monthly fee to keep to listening to music I've gotten? If I ever stop paying you my music deletes itself? No. no no no no no No No No No NO NO NO NO NO! Man, I bought my first CD, Blood Sugar Sex Magic, at age thirteen (that's twelve years ago), and I STILL LISTEN TO IT. I ain't RENTING no music. Maybe that's fine for the top 40 crowd, but I actually LIKE music. BUT, you say, if you want to burn the mp3s you can pay the normal $1 a track price! BUT, I say, you're still not offering me anything I can't get elsewhere without paying the damn monthly fee!

Whew.

In other news, it seems Yahoo got rid of their categories. Which was the only I reason I was still using Yahoo to search instead of Google. When I look in a Yahoo category, I know I'll get results highly relevant to what I'm looking for, whereas when I do a straight-up search I have wade through tons of garbage. Oh well. Ta ta, Yahoo search engine...

You were able to get an album with a name like "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" at age thirteen?

Well... Yeah. My mother was of the "state your views on right and wrong and let the child make his or her own choice" school of parenting. Sometimes known as "guilt-tripping." Obviously it wasn't 100% effective. But I think I turned out pretty good, and really... there are some tracks on that album that were a bit MUCH for me at the time.

Google has categories.
