My first foray with scss/compass and I'm checking out the Sasson contributed theme, which has built-in support.
Super cool, check this out (this will download Sasson, create a sub-theme and enable it):
drush dl sasson
drush cc all
drush sns "My theme"
drush en mytheme
drush vset theme_default mythemeYou can have full control on the theme name and machine name with:
drush sns "Full Name" machine_name

Nice domain search tool. Much preferable to the agony of manual search.
