[FRIAM] One more from the feeling awesome and inspired dept

[Gillian Densmore]

I've heard of MathML having issues.. Do you know if something like
webcompents+polymer or baking it into HTML might be next.
And yeah Iike some things fire fox does over Chrome. History, addons. older
browser versions. Wich is great. like if their's a gremlin in Acme's
Latest. I can use Acme's Slightly Older one.
It amuses me everything but Ieeee doesn't like canvas..I've found canvas
useful as a backup.
Unless it's changed Wordpress is really weird when it comes to JavaScript.
Canvas can do some stuff pretty well without lagging horribly. (Loading
slides for example)

YAR!
