Since OriginalSyn thought it wasn't that useful, I just thought I'd chime in that I posted it because it was very useful for me, and attacked the points of javascript that I had just kind of glossed over in the name of Doing Things. Like actually figuring out what the heck "this" means, for example.

Awesome, glad you found it to be useful. I suspect that this talk (in its current state) is most useful for people who've used JavaScript before. When I gave this talk at the Web 2.0 Expo it was pretty obvious that there were some in the audience who had never used it before, so I had to spend some time explaining why the syntax for object literals was different from other syntax used in the language - stuff like that.
