metamorphoseandbodhi:

While chatting with a bud the other week, we started chatting about JS best practices. Normal conversation, you know. I explained that one of the best things you can do is to wrap everything, if using jQuery, in a $(). “But for why?” my friend questioned. The answer is a little complicated and…

Daring Fireball is pretty adamant that this is a bad decision for Google (what else would you expect from Daring Fireball?). I think it’s the opposite, and not necessarily for the typical reasons.

It might be a good time for Obama to hit the road on a Midwestern bus-tour campaign: on Sunday, his approval rating dipped to an all-time low of 39 percent, with 54 percent disapproving. The result marks the first time that the president’s approval has fallen below the 40 percent threshold since arriving in office.
