tell me what you want
Category advice
A brief but key point made during Gurupalooza this year is that the bulk of us bloggers usually decide what to write about on a whim: something catches our eye, or has been on our mind, etc. In my case, it's often some idea I have that is partly developed, something I intend to fully explore at some point, but typically just toss out here in whatever form it's in at the moment, and let it become what it will once it's been set free... hence the name of the site ("Tip of the Iceberg"): I bump up against something I think might be huge, send up a flare, and let y'all explore further if it suits you. Occasionally someone finds a specific article useful, and in a subset of those instances, requests more information on that particular topic (for example, I was asked yesterday whatever became of this, which I hope to post an update about post haste). So the suggestion that I'm now echoing is this: let me know what you want to see. It may be something I've experimented with and have some information to provide, perhaps it's something I haven't even heard of and would be interested in exploring. In any case, I want this site to (continue to?) be a useful resource, and the more you tell me what you want to read about, the more I can tailor it to the interests of the people already reading it.

@Wayne - Thanks for the suggestion; Bernd Hort and Thomas Bahn (assono.de) are the ultimate experts in this area (particularly MVC), but I'll definitely put together some articles both on OOP theory as it pertains to LS and more concrete examples of where it's useful.

I found the blog entries on remote event binding to be quite eye opening regarding the extent to which you could push the language. How about some examples of the use of OO patterns (observer,facade etc).
