A cross-browser logging util
/**
* Cross-browser logging utils
*
* This fn differs from something like the jQuery log plugin in that
* it returns console.log, if avail, instead of calling it. This allows
* us to call it in file with the log statement, which means that the
* line # and file name displayed are more helpful. This isn't supposed
* to be a logging framework like blackbird or log4javascript.
*
* Usage: var msg = 'foo'; log(msg).call(console, msg)

  • class frameworks:

Playing with prototypal inheritance in JavaScript
// I'm not sure what this is supposed to be demonstrating,
// but I think it's worth noting that flashyBlueBtn contains
// color & effect attributes event though we say
// FlashyBlueButton.prototype = blueBtn.
function Button(color){
this.color = color;
}
var blueBtn = new Button('blue');
