Vertical Alignment That Works in IE
<!-- IE6+ -->
<!--
NOTES:
1. For this to work in IE6 or 7, your elements must have a "natural" display value of inline. <span>, <img>, <a> — these are a few elements that qualify.
2. These two elements must be the only immediate children of their parent.
3. valign-content cannot be 100% the width of the container. But it can be 99% width! Play with it.

Feeding DOM Elements Directly to jQuery
// Element By ID
var $foo = $(document.getElementById('foo'));
// Multiple Elements By ID
var $$foobar = $([
document.getElementById('foo'),
document.getElementById('bar')
]);
// Node List

Object.observe for JavaScript Debugging
// By observing changes to an object with Object.observe,
// and turning on Async Call Stacks in Chrome Dev Tools,
// you can find the source of those changes.
var myObject = {
foo: 'bar'
};
Object.observe(myObject, function(changes) {
// This asynchronous callback runs when myObject is changed

ES6 ELI5
Foreword
===
These short descriptions will familiarize you with new things in ES6,
quickly and simply.
A lot of details are ignored to aid this purpose. This content is only intended
as a starting point or brief refresher.
Most of the descriptions use pre-ES6 JavaScript as a frame of reference.
