I once saw a place that solved this by painting the pillar in a cool stone mural. Picture stones painted on it, with a little bit of green leafs to beautify it.


Apartment Therapy - Good Questions: How Can I Hide the Ugliness of this Pole?

This doesn't really make much sense.

First, the description makes it sounds as though this is Google's idea. Blackle is a completely separate company that just happens to use Google. Google isn't really endorsing this.

Second, if you're using an LCD monitor, there aren't significant energy savings.

Third, the cost of talking to Blackle's servers, and then calling out and talking to Google's servers, and then replying and sending info to Blackle, and then Blackle pushing that info back to you takes more energy. They have to run a whole separate set of servers to run this, and that probably uses a lot more energy.
