Thanks Matthew. I think they're not HUDs in the traditional sense -- I
think I just got that term from the Alias presentation (don't have
anything better to call it -- am open to suggestions!). I definitely
don't intend these to be persistent.

I just spent a minute on Im In Like With You and that's almost exactly
what I have in mind, but I was intending mine to come up right after you
click "OK" to complete an action. I'll poke around a bit more and see
what else they have.

Much appreciated!
