The [man](http://codinginparadise.org/weblog/?ref=chrismessina.me)'s a madman. I can't even keep up with him. Oh, a snippet from [his thorough explanation](http://codinginparadise.org/weblog/2006/04/now-in-browser-near-you-offline-access.html?ref=chrismessina.me):

> I've finally finished; dojo.storage is now done, in beta, and fully open source under a business-friendly BSD license. ... The offline and dojo.storage work together, because whether you are offline or online you can access the same persistent storage, saving data while offline then syncing when online. Expect a dojo.offline and dojo.sync in the future that will provide abstractions for common operations like this. **I'm looking for financial sponsors** on this if you are interested.

(**Emphasis** mine).

Thanks for the pointer Chris! How was Bangalore? Did you get to play with Moxie? Best, Brad

Sure thing -- nice work! Bangalore was awesome -- totally great time. And no, not yet, but I'll take a look!

\[...\] I’ve never met Brad — as a matter of fact, I was only introduced to his blog tonight via Messina’s post — yet I dropped a similar perspective on the state of capitalism on the other side of the planet just two weeks later in the fall of 2001\. \[...\]

Almost exactly a year later from this blog post, the Dojo Offline and Dojo Sync portions have arrived! See http://dojotoolkit.org/offline for details. Best, Brad

Oh, and SitePen ended up being that financial sponsor and collaborator on Dojo Offline!
