    What are the advantages of using blur.js over RGB values and Opacity in CSS3? (Seems like it does the same thing to me, though I haven’t actually tried it…)

    Thought this was a great article and one I will be coming back to again and again with the resources included. There are some great plugins that will be very useful for me with my development and push my use of jQuery. I liked all the examples you have included but the ones I really like are the hammer.js and Adipoli. I really like the user interaction you get with the hammer.js and this will be a great feature to add into sites. With the Adipoli plugin I really love the variety of transitions and there is something that will fit any site. Great article, resources and I look forward to more articles like this from yourself.
