Templating with Narwhal Server-side JavaScript and JSON-Template
June 11, 2010
Server-side JavaScript is all the rage. Here’s a practical application of JavaScript that I used today. I needed to populate a bunch of html files with some data so I did it with narwhal and json-template.

Fx.Scroll, Fx.Morph, Fx.Elements, and MooTools 1.3 Unified Timer
June 9, 2010
MooTools 1.2 has a few different ways to do what seems like the same thing: Fx.Tween, Fx.Morph and Fx.Elements. A friend of mine recently asked what the difference was with each.

Timers, [...]

jQuery Conference Slides and Demo

April 9, 2010
There are differing opinions on how to support Internet Explorer in all it’s flavors. I’m the type that makes the site look and act the same in every browser as similarly as possible most of the time. I use modernizr to help me know when I can use CSS instead of images or whatever [...]

I’ve got a web application (aka: my resume) I wrote to track my business expenses, billing, invoicing, etc. In the app are several tables full of data. My accountant likes me to give him a bunch of stuff in excel or csv format. I’ve got a button on each interface that opens [...]
