# Dream: Mark Bernstein did a one-man singing, piano-playing comedy stageshow that made buckets of money for Eastgate. Then he got Woody Allen to do a movie version and put it in coin-operated kiosks around town with poor user interfaces, making more money.
# Dream: Two people say they're police, want to come into the house. I ask to see a warrant. They say they don't need one -- USA PATRIOT Act. I don't let them in; they force their way in. Turns out they were notorious burglars.

* On the other hand, what I really want is for RealPlayer to give a continuous stream of music (so you don't have to keep going back to the site), with thumbs-up/thumbs-down buttons that go into a collaborative filter (so it learns what you like). I remember Imagine Radio (which they sold to Streamspincast or something) was like this, except for signed bands. Of course, they got shut down by the RIAAPolice. 12:27p
* Garageband.com, once you figure out how to get it working (hint: don't use Safari), is pretty nice. It's basically what I want: a continuous stream of new music from new bands. Nothing super-great, but it makes fun background music. 12:06p
