30 Boxes looks amazing.    I could maybe do without the pictures on the side but that definitely shows promise.  Finally a social calendar app I could probably justify using!

So does Meebo.  Basically like MSN Web Messenger but supports several different clients, 50 times as responsive, all AJAX based.  Feels like I'm running on a desktop. 

I know that there are still some developers out there (even senior developers) who thumb their noses at Javascript.  While I know Javascript can be a...well, interesting language at times, look at the kick-@$$ things you can actually do with it!  How can you look down on accomplishments like that?

Man, I would *KILL* somebody (maybe even you!! ;) ) for the chance to work at one of these places!!  That is freaking cool.  Nothing excites me as much as trying to push the boundaries.
