Is the title to the movie “Free Willy” a pun on “free will”?  As in, sure it can be interpreted as such, but do you think the producers of the movie actually named the whale Willy with that pun in mind?  Seems like you could go both ways.  Especially since I only just thought about that as a possible pun.  I had always interpreted “free” as an imperative and not a modifier to “Willy”.

A question to all my programmer friends (and non-programmer friends who have useful suggestions):

Since making the push to get to 10,000 songs in my iTunes library, I’ve become incredibly fascinated with the idea of tracking my iTunes library data. In particular, I’d like to track the day-to-day rate of growth of the library. Now, I know that iTunes automatically stores all of the library data in an XML file, and I’ve looked at this XML file and it does indeed keep track of the date added data for each track. What would you suggest is the best way to go about grabbing this data from the XML file and doing what I’d like to do? Thanks ahead of time for the help! :-D
