My guess is that you have notice an uptake of news this week. That is for a couple of reasons:

  1. It is the end of the summer, and people are probably working again. As such, we have seen a huge increase in submissions and interesting news out there
  2. Rey Bango has joined the ranks as an Ajaxian. He has been adding a lot to the Ajax community for quite some time, so it is fantastic to have him contributing directly to Ajaxian through his own insightful posts.
  3. Welcome Rey. Here is his bio:

    On a side note, the rotating snippets at the top of the site are getting a little stale aren’t they. Since you as a community are all more witty than the few of us, I thought that you may have some ideas for new bylines. Take a shot in the comments!
