This tool can significantly reduce the size and complexity of your CSS by programmatically stripping unneeded content, stripping redundant calls, and intelligently grouping the remaining element names.

Google Image Labeler is a feature of Google Search will allow you to label images and help improve the quality of Google’s image search results, having fun at the same time.

You’ll receive more points for matches with more descriptive labels. For example, this image can be described by the labels: sky (50 points), bird (60 points), soaring (120 points), or frigate bird (150 points).

You’ll be randomly paired with a partner who’s online and using the feature. Over a two-minute period, you and your partner will:

View the same set of images.
Provide as many labels as possible to describe each image you see.
Receive points when your label matches your partner’s label. The number of points will depend on how specific your label is.
See more images until 2 minutes passes out.

Login to your google account, choose a nickname and accumulate points. Well, Google is not rewarding contributers at the moment. You may just try it out for fun sake

Seems Dave has brought out Tripoli. Tripoli is a generic CSS standard for HTML rendering. By resetting and rebuilding browser standards, Tripoli forms a stable, cross-browser rendering foundation for your web projects.

The ideas behind Tripoli

to reset and rebuild all browser defaults for maximum compability
to address deprecated tags in HTML 4 and disable them through CSS
to separate content typography from layout measurements, allowing simple implementation in dynamic design environments
to increase readability and web typography
to assist clients who have little knowledge about CSS to write HTML that actually looks great
to increase form useability and visual appearance of form controls
to make the HTML look great in several medias, including screens, mobile browsers and prints
to embrace W3C’s guidelines and well know typographic rules
to allow external plugs that can extend generic defaults into more advanced themes
