Think about it: you can't use your car unless you pay for gas, and how many people wouldn't jump at the opportunity (especially right now) to pay a flat-rate monthly fee for gasoline? I know I would. So, all other car mechanical items aside, my world would allow me to drive my car as much (and as far) as I'd like to, with no incremental cost (above my monthly subscription fee) for gasoline.<br /><br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I'm trying to draw an analogy between driving cars and listening to music, though it isn't perfect, because my mp3 player is not exactly the same as my car. For one thing, there is no 'free' gasoline alternative as there is with music. But suppose there was. Suppose you could acquire gasoline via Black Market for free or really cheaply, but every time you did it you were breaking the law and taking a risk of getting caught. If an alternative to this was a Gasoline Subscription, that was reasonably priced, then this hypothetical world would fill in the missing pieces to my analogy, and provide the basis for better getting my point across. So, back to the point: <span class="318131418-06102005">my car (/mp3 player) may look good, and have all kinds of great features, but it is severely limited in its functionality w/out fuel (/content), which I have to continually purchase. Gasoline (/music) gets me from Point A to Point B via my vehicle (/player). My consumption of fuel is similar to my consumption of music. They both take me a certain distance, and once consumed need to be replenished in order to go further. Though we'll never see a Unlimited Gasoline Subscription offer (perhaps there will be an unlimited electricty subscription offer someday though), there are Unlimited Music Subscriptions available right now. I just-so-happen to work for a company that offers this very service: Napster.<br /><br /></span></span></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Why should you prefer having <span style="font-style: italic;">access </span>to every song vs. <span style="font-style: italic;">purchasing </span>music on a case-by-case basis, or breaking the law and pirating music off the Net? If you're like me, then you don't want to pay every time you want to consume music. I love music, and listen to a wide variety of artists and genres. As is true for everybody, my mood determines my music preferences at any given time. Every now and then, I'm in the mood for music that I listened to during my high school or college years. I definitely don't need to own <span class="318131418-06102005">that music...I just want to listen to it for an hour or so (to get me from Point A to Point B). I also like to listen to many of the Tuesday new releases to keep my options fresh.<br /><br />The Napster music subscription provides this: A 'key to the door of the music vault' for a reasonable flat-rate monthly fee. You can have any song, at any time, and you don't have to buy it to consume it. Listen at home. Listen at work. Listen in your car. Listen while you take walks or run. Listen while you exercise. Listen while you party. Listen while you sleep.<br /><br />Have your cake. Eat your cake. But don't buy your cake.<br /></span></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="318131418-06102005"></span></span></span> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="318131418-06102005">What's your thought?<br /><br />Next up: Apple's subscription model: Just because you're buying, doesn't mean it's not a rental -- yes, you will have to buy it again.</span></span></span><span class="portlet-font" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="portlet-font" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820576044271164855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068666.post-1120543208001088122005-07-04T23:00:00.000-07:002005-07-04T23:02:50.276-07:00I now have all of my pictures on <a href="http://brucefriedman.smugmug.com/">smugmug</a>.

I promise myself to pick up blogging more regularly, since I have so many thoughts to spill. This is me water skiing this week in Lake Tahoe. I've had a blast this past week using my new ski. More soon.

I've had a good fantasy football year. I'll blog the results shortly. I'm currently with my wife, stepson and dog in Lake Tahoe, having a great time. We've gone skiing 5 of the 6 days that we've been here thus far. Our friends the Fienes and the Balfours have their families up here in their own places as well, and we've had lots of fun watching movies and football games, playing poker, and just hanging out.

<br />
<br />* Chargers can -- not 'should', but 'can' -- beat the Titans today. Since Titans will likely have 8 in the box, Brees needs to pass out of that situation and hit the receivers. Caldwell and Parker need to come up big.
<br />
<br />* Michael Vick is a lot of fun to watch, but he's bound to get hurt again the way he plays. Hope he lasts.
<br />
<br />* Mike Martz is a nut....and a knucklehead.
<br />
<br />* Sirius satellite radio is <strong>awesome</strong>. Every NFL game, every broadcast from each city. It's a great way to pass the time away on those long drives to Tahoe.
<br />
<br />* Torrey Pines HS Falcons are 5-0 and on a roll. Their defense comes up big every week, and their offense has really improved.
<br />
<br />* I am ready for a change at President. Too bad the Libertarian candidates always seem so friggin' nuts.
<br />
<br />* I want a Fantasy Football service where I can put in the players that I'm interested in getting wireless/sms updates on during games. How come nobody has that yet? If it's out there, please let me know!
<br />
<br />* Miracle was a great movie, but everybody probably already knew that. I might have been the last American to see it.
<br />
<br />* Joey cracks me up.
<br />
<br />* It's time to organize a trip to San Felipe. It's been way too long.
<br />
<br />* Speaking of way too long, it's time for Darcy and I to plan our summer party that we didn't have.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820576044271164855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068666.post-1096820177498996972004-10-03T09:12:00.000-07:002004-10-03T09:16:17.496-07:00Today's football picksMy picks for today:
