Even with the ever present question of, 'what cross-browser support?' HTML 5, CSS 3 and the new JS API is a pretty impressive set of technologies.

What I find pretty incredible is how the lines between Flash and non-flash are being rewritten not to mention what would have required server side processing before being able to be performed via certain client side tasks now. That represents one hell of a shift in what can now be done with these technologies.

Even with the ease of use provided by excellent libraries such as jQuery articles like this provide an excellent introduction/reason for the use of certain javascript (non-library) techniques. On the downside are the pointless negative comments from certain posters.

Lots of sub-contracting work combined with training courses and little sleep is, admittedly, not a healthy way to get through the month.
