Thanks for the heads up on the JS patterns. On my LONG list of things to read is "Learning JavaScript Design Patterns" by Addy and Stoyan Stefanov's Javascript Patterns. I'd like to reconcile what I do with pattern names and approaches.

I moved out from San Diego to work there in Nov. 2011. Learned a ton, worked there for a year and a half. I've def heard your name mentioned. I'm good friends with Ryan Cook, as well.
