Ben Alman is Awesome. Here's why:

He knows everything

Here's a list of some of his jQuery projects:

  • jQuery BBQ 
  • jQuery Bookmarklet Generator 
  • jQuery cond 
  • jQuery doTimeout 
  • jQuery equalizeBottoms 
  • jQuery getObject 
  • jQuery hashchange event 
  • jQuery iff 
  • jQuery longUrl 
  • jQuery Message Queuing 
  • jQuery Misc plugins 
  • jQuery outside events 
  • jQuery postMessage 
  • jQuery replaceText 
  • jQuery resize event 
  • jQuery Star Wipe 
  • jQuery throttle / debounce 
  • jQuery Untils 
  • jQuery unwrap 
  • jQuery URL Utils 
  • jQuery urlInternal

He helps everyone

Go on the IRC #jquery chat room.  Type "ben_alman: you there?".  He's there, friendly, and wants to help you.

He sees the future

Ben's experience has pushed him to the edges of what jQuery can do; especially with special events.  He's constantly finding bugs, and proposing solutions.  He's been part of a lot of the best micro changes.  Just today, he created this ticket to help make creating delegatable special events easier.

He is perfect

Ben Alman is a perfectionist. He refuses to even look at my code unless it is well formated. Just talk to him about tabs v spaces.  His code is always well written, quality, and documented.
