Friday! yeah! Sometimes the week or day just fly by, but they drag on forever without a doubt once you hit Friday. I have huge plans of sitting on my ass all weekend. Much like I do every week day, but with much less ambition involved or something. Today is the big Napster shut-down day. I expect to get at least 50 more 'save napster!' emails today. Lastly, here's a cute pic that Whiplash sent in from once of my branch offices over in New Zealand.

  • * How You Can Support Napster
    *
    * Thanks for being a member of the Napster community and for the
    * support you have shown. As you have probably heard, the RIAA won a
    * court battle this week that may keep you from using Napster to share
    * music files as of Friday at midnight Pacific time. Please keep using
    * Napster between now and then. We'll know more about the potential
    * shutdown shortly, and we'll keep you informed.
    *
    * We're getting a lot of questions about what people can do to help.
    * Here are three things you can do right away.
    *
    * 1. Write the heads of the major record companies and tell them you
    * are their best customers - loyal and active music fans -- and that
    * you don't want them to kill Napster. Here's a link to their emails:
    * http://www.napster.com/labels.html.
    *
    * 2. Show the companies your power. We're calling for a two-day
    * "buy-cott" this weekend. Support the artists (found here:
    * http://www.napster.com/buycott.html) who support Napster by going
    * out and buying their CDs. Be sure to let the record store know you
    * came from Napster.
    *
    * 3. Keep coming back. We'll keep you informed as time goes on.
