A quote from The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst

Use spaced en dashes – rather than em dashes or hyphens – to set off phrases.

Standard computer keyboards and typewriters include only one dash, but a normal font of roman or italic type includes as least three. These are the hyphen and two sizes of long dash: the en dash – which is one en (half an em, M/2) in width – and the em dash—which is one em (two ens) wide.

In typescript, a double hyphen (- -) is often used for a long dash. Double hyphens in a typeset document are a sure sign that the type was set by a typist, not a typographer. A typographer will use an em dash, three-quarter em, or en dash, depending on the contest or personal style. The em dash in the nineteenth-century standard, still prescribed in many editorial style books, but the em dash is too long for use with the best text faces. Like the oversized space between sentences, it belongs to the padded and corseted aesthetic of Victorian typography.

Used as a phrase marker – thus – the en dash is set with a normal word space either si

First foray into asynch JS loading, this is a little snippet of the Surftourist maps code
class ST.maps.Map
constructor: (el, title, opts) ->
@el = $(el)
@opts = $.extend true, {}, @defaults, opts
if @el.length
@title = title
@markers = []
# Load Google maps if it's not present

Created June 9, 2011 00:52
On Surftourist.com we've had some people putting in a vimeo or youtube link in their descriptions. We want to support video properly, but this is a quick attempt at addressing the solution for the meantime.
# Search for video urls within an element and embed them if possible
embedVideos = (el) ->
el = $ el
if el.length
el.each ->
section = $ @
matches = section.html().match /http:\/\/(www\.)?(youtube|vimeo)\.com\/[^\s<]*/gmi
if matches?.length
# Vimeo or Youtube?
for match in matches
