It gets me "jazzed" too.

Yep, I had similar thoughts about the Biography plugin too. To summarise my thoughts: - certainly would want to display a calendar in the SlimCenter web interface and/or on the Jive remote - make the calendar available to other applications via '_iCal_' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar) - possibly show a screensaver with up-coming gigs based on your location - possibly enable some context-aware feature, based on the current artist I did a bit of hacking last night, in a kind of "proof-of-concept" way.
