I've accumulated a lot of tabs in my browser related to projects in the server-side JS space and I want to dump them somewhere now; I thought I would use some of this stuff for web-scraping duty at work but it turns out I didn't need anything nearly so deep. Some of these things have been coming along for a while and I don't want to lose this state.

cheerio - jQ-like API for server-side JS;
coffescript - better syntax for JS that works in JS;
Node.js - server-side JS platform;
phantomjs - headless WebKit based on Node.js

All of those are worth looking into. Just not now...
