• Tribune endorsement: Too Many Mitts
  Salt Lake Tribune:

  Where, we ask, is the pragmatic, inclusive Romney, the Massachusetts governor who left the state with a model health care plan in place, the Romney who led Utah to Olympic glory? That Romney skedaddled and is nowhere to be found.

  And:

  The president has earned a second term. Romney, in whatever guise, does not deserve a first.

• Automating Unit Tests
  Good post by Arthur Kay (writing at the Sencha Blog) about using Jasmine and PhantomJS to unit test Sencha-based web apps.

• Designing Better JavaScript APIs
  Rodney Rehm, writing at Smashing Coding. A good (and long) piece on some things to consider when creating your APIs. The article is focused on JavaScript and (to a lesser extent) client-side/in-browser development, but a lot these lessons transfer to anyone that is writing libraries/frameworks for consumption by other developers.

  Joan Walsh, writing at Salon.com:

  The fact is, we don’t know which Mitt Romney would take the oath of office, and that alone should consign him to an ugly defeat in two weeks.
