JavaScript, even more so than VB, has to be the Rodney Dangerfield of programming languages. I'm going to blow whatever credibility I might have by saying "I actually like programming in JavaScript." I'm actually building a lot of the screens in StoryTeller with JavaScript running in a WebBrowser control because I think I can do dynamic layout much faster with JavaScript than a WinForms screen. Besides, the point of a "side" project is to do stuff you don't get to do at your day job.

This is a REAL odometer style javascript counter, where you can actually see the numbers spining. No Flash, it's all css and javascript. It can serve multiple purposes, like a live visit counter or a cashier style counter on a shopping website. Well, anything that involves updating a numeric value dynamically. It can also be used a fixed counter, like the one you can generate with a server script, but of course that isn't nearly as much fun as updating it in real time.
