Oh, the melodrama. Well, I love it. Sure, the "rock star" thing is a little edgy and not to everyone's taste, but with the comments here, you'd think the design were truly bad. It's not. It's worthwhile to distinguish between designs that are not to your aesthetic and designs that are poorly executed.

It's not edgy, it's already old and stale.

"It's not edgy, it's already old and stale."

Thank you. "Rock star" and "guru" make me think of the clueless IT recruiter who's looking for people with JAVA and PERL skills or 10 years of Rails.

I've been touring the world lately, doing huge amounts of drugs, destroying hotel rooms, having sex with random hordes of hot women, and making giant piles of money. Given that lifestyle description, I think it's pretty obvious what I do for a living, but in case you're still wondering: I'm a JavaScript Rockstar. And yes, I use jQuery. Excuse me, I have to go have more sex.

I just drink Rockstar(tm) energy drink. And wonder why the fuck my JS doesn't work on IE 6.

How absolutely ghastly. I'm not sure which I hate more: the copy, the style or the illustration.

Yeah, this is what I wish it looked like: http://img397.imageshack.us/my.php?image=testscreenna8.jpg

It does look like that doesn't it? What am I missing?
