From 8pm to 9pm Pacific Time, San Francisco is advising its residents to turn off unnecessary lights in honor of "Lights Out San Francisco," an event focused on improving efficient energy usage.
Google will contribute by dimming its web page for a full hour, though I'm not sure if it will be the same hour. If it does so happen that way, between 11pm and 12 midnight Easter Time, Google will appear to mimic "Blackle."
For those of you who've never heard, Blackle is basically Google with a black background. The white background Google's pages usually have produces more light and therefore requires more energy consumption by computer monitors. Blackle was started to dramatically reduce monitor energy consumption when searching the web. Now Google will try doing the same. I wonder if it will stick? If it does, these could be the final hours that we get to surf Bright Google before the evil Dark Google takes over! So go search!
