I think the internet won't be free for much longer. The New York Times announced it will start charging for news from its website next year, and now Youtube will be testing the rental of movies from its site. The writing's on the wall, for lovers of free stuff anyway.
Last night, M, K and I went to a Swiss Chalet Restaurant with the idea to use a coupon we had to buy one chicken dinner and get one free. The restaurant turned out to be extremely busy because everyone had the same coupons! They are only good for a certain time. L had gone to her friend's 18th birthday party and afterward her friend decided to purchase a lottery ticket because she could, now that she was of age.
On the radio yesterday morning they previewed the Vancouver Olympic theme song called 'I believe', sung by 16 year old Nikki Yanofsky. I couldn't find a clip of it, but here is an introductory clip of her on Youtube.

My son did the same thing when he turned 18, bought a 6/49 ticket. It's funny that they all seem to make the same purchase when they are of age :o)
Newspapers are really hurting because of the Internet. I think we'll be seeing more and more newspapers charging in the near future.
Big sigh.
Have a great weekend.

Did L's friend win anything?!
I would love to be able to rent videos via YouTube or whatever. I know there are international licensing issues--sometimes I can't watch certain videos on YouTube because I live out of the US. But I hope they work that out!!
Japra, she didn't win anything, wouldn't you know it!
