Gaia Online is doing awesome things with LazyLoad

Jakob Heuser wrote to let me know about this big meaty blog post describing how he and the other folks at Gaia Online have implemented an impressive just-in-time CSS and JavaScript loader based in part on LazyLoad.

They've made some very nice improvements (such as replacing LazyLoad's queue-based loading with method chaining, which ends up being much faster) and fixed some bugs, all while keeping the library down to a slim 5.6K (minified) without any external dependencies. Very nice.
