iWannaSleep is a Countdown Timer for your Tunes

Cory Doctorow, one of my favorite SF writers and a copyfighter of no little renown, recently plugged one of his favorite little utilities for the Mac: iWannaSleep.

iWannaSleep allows you to set a timer after which iTunes will be stopped and the computer put to sleep. Optionally, you can have the computer shutdown, or run a custom AppleScript.

So... I suppose you could have it stop your Stuart Smalley e-book an hour after you go to bed (that should be sufficient to subliminally convince you that you're good enough and smart enough), and then run an app which uses an X-10 module to start the dishwasher.

iWannaSleep 1.1 can be dowloaded here, and just be warned that this free utility comes with no documentation.
