“groovy mother...”

John Resig has ported the Processing visualization language to JavaScript, using the <canvas> tag. John is officially one of the most scary-smart people I know.

Some great tips from Simon Willison on using JQuery effectively.

Just what the internet needed… a vi clone implemented in JavaScript.

Clever hack — sniff a user’s browser history, work out what blogreading/bookmarking/OpenID sites they use, and reduce clutter by only display options for those sites.

GMail’s new interface exposes an object with the specific intent of making it easier to write less-fragile GreaseMonkey scripts which interact with the application. Nice idea.

Some of these look wicked handy.

Good article on where Joel sees web development going — some kind of higher-level language that compiles down to Javascript, HTML, and whatever else runs in browsers. I think there needs to be “Assembler programmers don’t have groupies.” t-shirts.

UI and effects library from the JQuery team.

Debug JavaScript pages displayed on your iPhone from the comfort of your PC. Clever stuff.

Rails ported to JavaScript running on top of a JVM. My head asplode!

Dashboard widget for the JQuery docs.

Add nice corners and shadows to your images with just a smidge of JavaScript.

Firebug-a-like for IE. If this works as advertised, it could be indispensable for cross-browser Javascriptery.

Holy crap! It’s Zarch of “Just about the only game you can play on your school’s Acorn Archimedes” fame, redone in JavaScript. Now to find “Mad Professor Mariati” and a RISC OS emulator…

Cunning use of Flash and Javascript to enable “special effects” (borders, rotation and shadows) on images in web pages cleanly.

New version of JQuery cleans up the API and reportedly speeds things up.

First stages of the Dojo “offline toolkit”: Mockups imagining how it could be used to make GMail or Blogger usable when you don’t have an active net connection. Looks like it could be a game-changer.

Wonderful! A lightweight implementation of the Firefox-only Firebug javascript debugger which you can embed into your pages for cross-browser debugging.

Version 1.0 of Firebug is on the horizon, and it looks about 75% more kick-assier than the current release, which is saving my life at the moment as I do some JavaScript ftuff at work.

Wicked-nifty Javascript UI library, generously open-sourced by Yahoo. Using this with Django and Lucene, I was able to knock out a pretty decent AJAXy autocompleting search box within 24 hours of opening my big yap in a meeting and suggesting it as a feature. (The “Design Pattern Library” is also worth a read to anyone who juggles HTML)
