Go Red Sox! That is it. Let’s hope this season finishes again like this:

6. Video sites are excited about HTML5 Video.
7. Canvas via HTML5 is a new area to keep a close eye on (Canvas Games and Canvas Applications).
8. H.264 has a huge head start over Ogg.
9. Soon, there will be a huge influx of HTML5 plugin-ins for WordPress, JQuery, Mootools, Prototype, and pretty much every major Javascript library or blogging platform out there.
10. I can’t wait to try HTML5 MeFeedia on my new iPad.
