Came to know about the website
http://www.blackle.com/ recently.
This website powered by Google custom search, basically does everything that google does, i.e. searching.... a very frequent task in internet usage. The concept behind Blackle is that computer monitors can be made to consume less energy by displaying darker colors. Blackle is based on a study which tested a variety of CRT and LCD monitors.
I was quite convinced by this and found it a cool idea to change colour scheme of my blog! But a little bit research on wikipedia and treehugger.com showed that this is true only for CRT, Plasma and OLED monitors and not much for LCD screens which are more common! So I don't know if my dark grey blog is saving any energy or not, but I am sure atleast it is not wasting any on any of the monitors. Readability on such colour scheme may be issue and I will change the colour-scheme if I get any such feedback from you. Going green is very essential, but not at the cost of any basic functionality. And whatever the research says about their effectiveness, we can give such efforts a try! Can't we?
(By the way, this change of colour scheme was also to signify writing my 100th post :)
Strange, but it's true! That after 1st and 100th post, 200 feels like just any other number, almost as meaningless as this post itself! Somehow it fails to convey anything that has happened on this blog or in the blogger's life! It just doesn't say whether it' good to be touching 200 with some copy pasted, irrelevant (to readers) posts and only a few original ones which can use the tag 'Bhavin'?
