Al just demoed a real-time Processing.js visualization of a song, manipulated with a midi keyboard. Very cool.
At the Boston Music Hack day learning about the Echo Nest API.
Just had some excellent ox tail from the new Lord Hobo pub in Inman. It's packed here.
Just rejected the weirdest job to my JavaScript job board: Someone looking for a concrete specialist.
Next episode of the @yayquery podcast is out! Paul talks some smack about my Super Mario Bros playing.

jeresig on jQuery's $(selector).live(...) is actually pretty slow. Here's a faster alternative. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Yes and no - mouseenter and mouseleave are strange events - they already attempt to capture events that aren't their own (working on elements that are further down the tree). You would need to do some extra checks to make sure that the event is coming from where you intend it to (mouseenter and mouseleave are the one exception here, since they behave so strangely)." - John Resig

The new IE 9 features are looking great: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie... Videos over here: http://channel9.msdn.com/
I note that one as the first time I seriously heard of IE9. - Claudio Cicali ♋
At #pdc09 Microsoft demoed the SunSpider and Acid benchmarks for IE 9. Looks like Microsoft has finally awake. Will it be too late? - Shakeel Mahate
Shakeel, it depends on how long they'll remain in "beta". They *have* to line up dev. cycle time with the other vendors one. - Claudio Cicali ♋
Finally, non-stupid type rendering in Windows? - Michael Herf
Actually I don't care what they do until there's a keyboard-accessible way to (a) copy the current URL, and (b) search. Firefox and Chrome have Ctrl-L and Ctrl-K. But Ctrl-L is stupid in IE. - Michael Herf
Okay, iMac w/ i7 is speedy.
Fedex guy was driving around and saw that the tag was gone and re-tried the delivery. iMac acquired! Huzzah to Fedex!
Is that the one with the i7 core? *_* - Marco Pivetta
Noooo - stepped out for a minute and the Fedex guy tried to deliver my iMac! Figures.

Slated to give some new talks in December and beyond - what are people interested in hearing about?
The new Processing shirts are hot! Just ordered mine: http://processing.org/shop/
Just finished the last final of my last class. I now have a B.S. in Computer Science from RIT!
Closure Compiler blowing away all globally-exposed variables is messy. Going to be a lot of confused people breaking code.
I wish that Google Closure (the lib) was under the MIT license, can't really borrow code from it for jQuery, otherwise.
jeresig on Dear proggit, we talk *a lot* about programming languages, but we almost never talk about libraries, even though good libraries are central to modern developement. So reddit, what's your favorite library? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"> But seriously, where do you get off banning me without even giving my points any discussion, or giving me a warning at all? Doesn't seem fair to me. At the moment I moderate about 20-30 sub-reddits, of which /r/javascript is one. As with managing a number of IRC channels I find the best policy is to "kick" offending users to give them some time to cool down - if they have any questions or feel like it was done in error they will contact me. If I never hear back from the user then either they don't care enough to try and come back or they were legitimately being malicious and just got caught. That's the minority though, it usually sends a clear message and further dialog ensues. It's unfortunate that Reddit's moderation tools are rather crude here - a cool-off period would be much more appropriate. Additionally, I almost always add other users as co-moderators if they ask. Thus far no one has asked to help me moderate /r/javascript. In your case I don't remember ever receiving a..." - John Resig

"> Show me one complaint about my behavior, other than from you, and then you can be a dick to me. What a god complex John, seriously. Your fame has gone to your head. Don't really think there's much left to say after that :-/ Sorry you feel that way." - John Resig
Moderation is a tough job. That's why I like the Friendfeed model, where individuals can 1st ignore, 2nd hide a post, 3rd hide posts from a certain service by a certain user and 4th Block a user which makes 'disappear' from one's own point of view. - Micah Wittman

"Erm, no. You were banned for going through every single post and telling everyone how much you hated their post, being combative with other readers, and generally being a nuisance. There are civil ways to participate in sub-reddit discussion, but you haven't shown yourself to be capable, thus far. If you feel as if you've changed feel free to message me and I'll add you back, no problem." - John Resig

"Thankfully it sounds like both your concerns have already been addressed with the new system. We have a new category system which is quite comprehensive (and much more useful then the old one, which was mostly busted, thanks to using MediaWiki). Additionally we have a bunch of additional examples that we're cribbing from some excellent contributors. Every single API method will have at least one example - many will have more. As to the point about JavaScript Inheritance the only really way around this is to reference the original 'this' using a closure. For example (using jQuery, for kicks): jQuery("div").bind("click", function(){ var div = this; $(div).find(".data").load("/some/url.html", function(){ $(div).addClass("loaded"); }); }); This could be written a little more succinctly like so: jQuery("div").bind("click", function(){ var div = $(this).find(".data").load("/some/url.html", function(){ div.addClass("loaded"); }); }); So just maintain a reference to that original 'this' and..." - John Resig

"Haha, no - just my B.S. in Computer Science. Left 3 years ago with 3 classes left - finished them up online and now I'm done for real. Feels good to not have it looming over my head any more." - John Resig
The new Apple remote is surprisingly different from the old one, I like it a lot. iMac w/ Core i7 is set to arrive on Friday!

"Thanks for the write-up, I really appreciate it. I absolutely agree that the "Getting Started" experience isn't all that it's cracked up to be and could use a lot of improvement. After we get this API rewrite out (which should help some - there are many more examples and explanations now) we will start to push forward on re-writing some of the tutorials and give them a solid structure. Thanks again." - John Resig
My Learning Advanced JavaScript tutorial has serious legs, keeps getting pick up. Glad people like it :) http://ejohn.org/apps/learn/
