Asynchronous Beer and Geeking

Brent Ashley showing off this “JavaScript Remote Scripting – Now with XMLHttp!!” t-shirt, taken by Pete MoselyThanks to Ian Irving for helping us come up with a new tagline for this site: “Asynchronous Beer and Geeking“. Heck, it’s a lot better than the ones I came up with.

How bad are the ones I came up with, you ask? Well, for your entertainment (and my personal embarrassment), I present you with my list of rejected site taglines (I want to warn you in advance that a lot of these—if not all of them—are kinda out of left field, and didn’t quite represent both the Ajax and Pub Nite aspects in a way I liked, which is why they were rejected), so bear with me):


  • “Asynchronously requesting since 2007” — Maybe? possibly a better variation of this?
    • “Dynamically serving content since 2007”
  • “Enhancing web experiences while impairing our own”
  • “No longer just a cleaning solution”
  • “Now with 10× more beer”
  • “Now with more scripty goodness”
  • “More XmlHttpRequests than you can shake a stick at”
  • $("#pub").load("nerds").find(".nerd").each(function(){ $(this).drink(); }).addClass("inebriated");” — Too geeky/obscure? Maybe not this one then. The string values can change if we wanna adapt it though. (Optionally, could’ve tacked on fadeOut() to the end of the chain (just for kicks), but I didn’t want to infer anything that isn’t necessarily so.)
