| 1. | I like to write about music. |
| 2. | I often play a song over and over while I write these pieces. |
| 3. | I let the singer provide the beat. |
| 4. | Their words make my words flow. |
| 5. | I write to their beat. |
| 6. | It's coool. |

| 8. | Someday... |
| 9. | Like everyone else writing about music on the web, I look forward to the day when I can link real music into these pages. Click on a link to start the music. Start reading. Nice. Tap your foot to my website. |
| 10. | But this approach requires lots of bandwidth! |
| 11. | If everyone were listening to music at the same time no one would be able to send email over the net. |
| 12. | Ooooops. |

| 14. | Turn it around. |
| 15. | Add a new member to the band. A new kind of DJ that plays with web images. |
| 16. | A new track on each music CD, the web-track. As the music passes over a certain place the CD player spits out a URL which is passed to the web browser which jumps to that page. |
| 17. | The page is dynamic, it can be changed by the DJ on a daily or even hourly basis. |
| 18. | Little images. A few words. Fast. Server push, but from the client! |
| 19. | A music CD becomes software. A new kind of performance. |
| 20. | Yes, and it's low bandwidth. |
| 21. | It'll be fun! |
