Grammar lessons often are associated with high school drudgery -- diagramming sentences and memorizing obscure rules in between passing notes in English class -- but an Arizona technical writer has turned the seemingly dry subject into a popular podcast.
Ok. I'll save you all the trouble. The article is most definitely not about what you'd think it would be, given the title "'Grammar Girl' a quick and dirty success./" 'Grammar Girl' a quick and dirty success |

An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said. The Dallas-bound flight was diverted to Nashville after several passengers reported smelling burning sulfur from the matches, said Lynne Lowrance, spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority. All 99 passengers and five crew members were taken off and screened while the plane was searched and luggage was screened.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone light a match to cover a fart, let alone on an airplane. Flatulence on plane sparks emergency landing |

While investigating the performance issues on script heavy sites we noticed several design patterns that resulted in less than optimal script performance. Changing these design patterns on the site end often resulted in huge performance wins (4x to 10x increase) to the user, so I wanted to share these recommendations with everyone. To that end, this blog will be the first in a 3 part series focusing on developing performance optimized scripts for web pages, covering the following: 1. Symbolic Look-up recommendations
2. JavaScript code inefficiencies
3. Script and performance considerations specific to IE
