CSS-Tricks — CSS & Text Selection & Highlighting
CSS-Tricks.com's Chris Coyier authored a really cool post titled Overriding The Default Text Selection Color With CSS. In the post, Chris explained:

At the time of this writing, only Safari and Firefox are supporting this, and both in slightly different ways. Fortunately, this can be thought of as one of those "forward-enhancement" techniques. It's a nice touch for those using modern browsers, but it just gets ignored in other browsers and it's not a big deal.

Even cooler is that CSS-Tricks reader Erik Kastner coded a beautiful hidden logo at his blog.
