Writing Efficient CSS
Some guidelines to writing CSS that the browser can parse and match quickly. I had some bad assumptions about many of these, mostly due to the fact that I thought selectors matched left to right, when, in fact, the match from right to left.
Web Inspector Redesign
The latest WebKit nightly builds include a new Web Inspector. Nice new features include: a console with similar functionality of Firebug, element inspection/toggling/editing, resource pane showing all resources with their latency and HTTP headers, a new Javascript debugger with breakpoints and scope variable viewing, a profiler, and an HTML5 database viewer. Awesome stuff!

SonSpring | 960 Grid System
The 960 Grid System looks like a well thought out CSS framework. I personally like the differences in it vs. Blueprint CSS.

Very slick idea to create styles to highlight bad HTML practices like missing alternate text attributes. I'd love to see a common set added to some of the CSS frameworks like Blueprint.css.
