So some guy has developed a new type of concrete that transmits light by adding “optical fibers” into the mix. The fibers are used to shift light at each end, producing a “see-through” effect. Read more about it here.

A new search results interface is in the works at Google. Originally the domain of rumor sites, it’s now possible for almost anyone to get a glimpse of the new look. The existence of a simple trick that enables the interface for nearly any browser makes it all possible.
The steps are as follows. First, navigate to google.com (or whatever Google search server you use, e.g., google.co.uk). Second, paste this string into your address bar, and hit enter (and ignore whatever message it spits back at you):
javascript:alert(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=fb7740f107311e46:TM=1142683332:
LM=1142683332:S=fNSw6ljXTzvL3dWu;path=/;domain=.google.com”)
Note: The string must be a continuous, single-line entry. Additionally, the portion “domain=.google.com” should be modified to whatever Google search server you are using (e.g., google.co.uk; we have verified that this works with the UK and US servers… it may work with others). The image of our homepage is not part of the new Google interface. that is a Firefox plugin called Better Search.
Third, search away. You should now see the interface.
I tried it and didn’t like it. I like the results spread across my entire browser window. The new method squeezes the results between the other search categories and the PPC ads on the right, plus there’s now a ton of wasted white space below the categories.

If you don’t like the new interface, place the following code (all one line) in your address bar and hit enter or delete your cookies. The next visit to Google will return to the old interface:
javascript:alert(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=0TM=0:LM=0:S=0;path=/;domain=.google.com”)
SlayerOffice Color list is another great design app.
This thing creates a list of all the colors defined in a page by parsing through:
*Style Sheets – inline, linked and one-level @imports
*Inline style attributes (ie, style=”color:#000;”)
*COLOR and BGCOLOR attributes
Due to the significant differences in the way MSIE and Mozilla based browsers handle parsing style sheets, and even the way colors are returned, seperate versions of the favelet exist for each.
