Is there a Bob Ross of coding? I'm looking for a particular style of educational video which shows developers working through problems. It should include a voice over describing what they are trying to accomplish. It should also show the types of decisions they are making as they work through the problem.

I'm scheduled for a technical interview after the weekend for a front-end development position. I'd like to spend some intensive time beforehand reading relevant blogs and books to prime the ol' noodle and supplement my existing knowledge. Could you recommend some resources? Are there questions you would ask an applicant in this situation, or that you have been asked?

In this game, you roll a number of six-sided dice to get a
total. The total is either the highest single die result, or the sum of any multiples rolled, whichever is higher.
For example: If I roll three dice and get a 3, 4, and 6, my total is 6. But if I roll a 4, 4, and 6, my total is 8, the sum of the two 4s.
What I want to find out is the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of the possible totals given N dice. How might I create a simple script to compute this?

Are there any tools for blocking out useless & slow "features" on facebook? I'm unsure the last time I actually appreciated any facebook popup. In particular, I've no need for facebook's toolbar because Adium and my N900 log into facebook's chat directly. Bonus if it'll work under MicroB on a Nokia N900.

30-45 separate vendor servers with lots of platforms. One template design that must be on all of them, and all must look alike and undergo some minor changes every week. How on earth do I keep them synchronized? As always...

Need a way to complete a mousedown/mouseup event cycle in JavaScript, when said cycle is interrupted by a dialog box. Not sure if there's a way to "manually" call the mouseup event after the fact, or what.

FireFox filter. This is driving me mad. My website has a little JavaScript (inside) to drag in a random image. Each image is 150 wide (varying heights). IE displays them fine. Firefox 1.0 resizes certain images. Anyone know why?

Because I only know pidgin HTML, I'm not sure if what I'm about to ask is Web Design 101 or Web Design 665, but: If I want to have a collapsible list, such that if someone clicked on "Words that start with B" in the following:
Words that start with A
Words that start with B
Words that start with C
the page would then reformat to show
Words that start with A
Words that start with B
balustrade
brickbat
bumptious
Words that start with C
without the whole page having to reload. Can someone please point me to a resource or study-able example?
