Use debug (or something) instead of console.log to have more control over logging

Using a logging module like debug makes it easier to control when logging messages show up and can add a timestamp to the log messages. This is nice for running tests (since there's not a lot of log output unless you want there to be) and for writing logs to a file (because you can see when things happen).

Maybe you're already using another logging solution and this isn't useful though. I'm not sure what it's like when it's running for reals.

I'm sure also there are a gazillion other logging modules, I only mention debug because that's the one I'm familiar with and the one that express uses.
