I have been working with CompassCSS/SASS for over a year now. I recently had the need to create an image sprite (or one image that contains many icons) from the silk icon sets for use in a large web interface. I created a SASS mixin to make working with the files very easy. If you use CSS and especially if you are using Compass CSS, SASS, or HAML check out my mixins.

Nice, Simple, Sensible CSS Framework

BluePrint CSS is a nice, simple, and sensible CSS framework. It greatly reduces CSS development time by providing a solid base on which to extend. Really Cool!

Blueprint is a CSS framework, which aims to cut down on your CSS development time. It gives you a solid CSS foundation to build your project on top of, with an easy-to-use grid, sensible typography, and even a stylesheet for printing. http://www.blueprintcss.org/

Today I spent around 10 minutes, and used a portion of the BluePrint CSS Framework to fix some typographical problems I was having with my Wordpress theme.
