Javascript has gone so long to be what it is today. jQuery pushes the bar to a much higher leave that change the landscape of the way we use the web. What ever happened to VBScript? While Javascript is meant to be free and for sharing, with the increasing use of ajax technology, Javascript is no longer snippets of code that power little decoration of your web page like the sliding news or blinking text, in fact a lot of times in the branding business the use of advance Javascript technology such as OOP can be a major player in the game.

During the weekend an old friend posted a song by Mr. Children, a Japanese pop band est. 1988. Although 90% of the time I don't know what they are singing without the subtitle, again the melody of their songs remind me that young and energy theme of most Japanese pop songs back in the 90's. Out of curiosity, I dig a little deep about his group on Grooveshark. For the last two days I have been listening to a bunch of "non sense", lol. However I feel peace and comfort though out every song. Music is just amazing.
