These examples will write the major JavaScript variable types to the console (string, object, function, etc). Depending on your console, each type will appear either as a plain strings (IE, mostly) or as interactive, explorable items (Firebug, some others). Note that any limitations are likely imposed by the console itself, not the log() function being demoed here.

You can see the log() function in consolelog.js. For a detailed explanation, see the blog post.

If you're lost, note that this has nothing to do with the mathematical log function. And if you're looking to comfort a grieving cylinder of wood, I really can't help you, sorry!
