Home Improvement Method – CoverUps.com

Todd Berkshire, a PhD student at MIT has developed a “CSS file,” or, in computing geek parlance, a “cascading style sheet” that can make improvements to any home a cinch. Although one wonders, what it actually is that his CSS does for a house, because it surely hasn't done it for Berkshire.

MIT (Boston, MA) – A 19-year old computer geek finishing his PhD this year just may have revolutionized the home improvement industry with the creation of a new type of cascading style sheet (CSS) geared to help with home improvements

“I was tired of trying to make my $450,000 starter home look the same in every room,” he told CoverUps.com. “So, I figured why not apply computer technology to the world of home improvement and viola – Home Improvement CSS is born.”

The idea behind the sheet is to create one master template that dictates changes throughout any file repository (or in this case, room). This means he can control how any improvement will look just by his updating his CSS home improvement document. Now, when Berkshire wants to update a room, all he has to do is go into his CSS home improvement sheet any changes he makes to the template will migrate throughout his home with those changes in mind.

He showed us an example of his work in action and we must admit it was most bizarre. He changed the parameters of his style sheet to indicate that he wanted every room in his home to appear brown. With a quick update on his CSS home improvement file, the change was completed and every room in the house turned the color brown.
