2012 was a good year for plugins, and are so much fun to discover. As we went into 2013, it made me think i needed a countdown. So, a looked up a few of the more recent plugins and I found a CountDown timer that is pretty easy to style as well.

CountDown Features:
Extremely easy to integrate, jQuery compatible, Unobtrusive JavaScript, Easily skinable, Multiple instances, onComplete handler, start and stop functionality, reset functionality, new: Standard time (UTC) support

Plugin Syntax:

// Initiate Countdown
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $('#countdown_dashboard').countDown({
		targetDate: {
            'day':      1,
            'month':    1,
            'year':     2014,
            'hour':     0,
            'min':      0,
            'sec':      0
        }
    });
});

And there you are, now you are ready to countdown to 2014!
