		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve fallen in love with node.js a web server written in JavaScript.
Ok it&#8217;s not really a web server, it makes IO functions available to JavaScript code in a completely non-blocking way! What does that mean? It means it&#8217;s incredibly fast. Yeah ok, how fast is incredibly fast I hear you saying. Right now in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What:
A plugin for jQuery that makes serializing input elements easy. Once serialized you can send the elements back to the server with AJAX.
Why:
There is a big problem with jQuery&#8217;s built in $.serialize() method. It only uses the input elements name attribute. In practice I found that the name attribute is rarely used, most people use [...]]]></description>

Every Monday and Wednesday, they sit next to each other in history class. I watch as Sofie spends the class writing “Bruce” over and over in her notebook.
