On it, planning with Ken Russell:

The article structure off the top of my head:
- What are Typed Arrays (Slab of memory with a typed view into it.)
- Why would you want to use Typed Arrays (You can pass data directly to WebGL / 
WebAudio / network without data conversions. Also, when you know the type of 
data, you can generate efficient code to work on it. And flat dense data is 
fast to access due to how memory subsystem works.)
- How to use Typed Arrays (API overview, WebGL, WebAudio, XHR, Workers)
- Design considerations in the Typed Arrays spec (performance, close to 
hardware, no automagic conversions)
- How to deal with endianness (swizzle it yourself with Uint8Array?)
- Links to libraries & spec & demos
