1.	At the same time, there's another industry we'd like to welcome to the world of weblogs.
2.	Every day there's news of more attempts by the entertainment industry to shut down the computer industry, using the US Senate as a lever. Of course I abhor this, computers are here to stay, to think or act otherwise is counter-productive. Computers change the way we all do business. Computers also changed the entertainment industry (that's not big news), so we look to AOL, a product of our industry, one that now owns a big chunk of Hollywood, to make sense of the mess at the intersection between our industries.

Yesterday I sent a letter to Steve Case at AOL, outlining an opportunity to use the Web to market their entertainment products, much the way Macromedia is using their new weblogs to inform and learn from Web developers. The idea was initially outlined in a white paper I wrote with the help of Adam Curry early in 2001. It's still a relevant idea, and I hope the entertainment industry will give it serious consideration. Here's how it goes.
