_sfvdon I secretly lived in my office for 500 days

You would think so, but the traffic and public transit in LA doesn't work that way.

It's too congested even for buses to quickly get by. I've walked/biked 5+ miles faster than it took a bus to get where I was going during peak traffic hours, and I am no avid runner/biker.

I've spent 30 minutes trying to go 1 mile.

I've been stuck in completely stopped traffic at 3AM caused by multiple concerts let out at the same time

One time I remember walking to the bank 2 blocks from my house. It took about 5 minutes because I was taking it slow. By the time I got out of the bank, and went outside to walk home, an impromptu Katy Perry concert had started (That's Hollywood & Highland for you) and there wasn't even walking room for blocks in every direction. I ended up having to loop around everything and it took me 20+ minutes to get home.

Basically, the traffic/transit in LA is not a predictable monster. When it comes to getting from point A to point B, no quick glance at a map can help you guess how long anything will take.

_sfvdon No more CSS and HTML, just JS

HTML Version - 56 Characters, no dependencies:

<ul><li>They</li><li>create</li><li>themselves</li></ul>

OJJS Version - 57 Characters, thousands of lines of js dependencies:

var myList = oj.BulletList('They','create','themselves');

The fact that just writing the html output is the same (and in this case less) amount of characters then the ojjs functions makes me unsure about this. especially considering all the extra dependencies.
