Consumer Reports has a stark reminder for all of us – don’t leave children unattended in a vehicle. Ever.
“In just 10 minutes, a child’s body temperature can go as high as 106 degrees F, leading to damage to the brain and vital organs, heat stroke, dehydration, seizures, and death.”
Be careful. Keep an eye on the kids, and don’t ever leave them in the car, even with the window rolled down a little bit. It’s just not safe!

The NTTA and the Star Telegram (among others) are reporting about the changes to the George Bush Turnpike. The toll booths are no longer accepting cash.
“Your cash is no longer good on the President George Bush Turnpike. The North Texas Tollway Authority is converting the toll road to all-electronic beginning at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.”
Read more about it here. The NTTA has a more detailed page about the change here.
Time to make sure the TollTag balance is ok. I’m not sure I like this too much. If you don’t have cash, they will simply send a bill to the vehicle’s registered owner. Now you have to tell anybody that borrows your car to stay off the &%$#@! George Bush Turnpike.

It’s available now, and you can download it here. Naturally, the download mirrors are being hit rather hard, so if you can wait a day or two to grab this release, please do. Give the servers a chance to catch up a little bit.
As always, Firefox 3.5 is free.
This came from the Starbucks Twitter feed earlier today.
If you bring in your receipt from earlier in the day, you can get any drink for $2 after 2pm. “Your receipt must be for the same day, US only, not in Canada, all cold drinks (including all blended beverages)”
Too bad I tossed my receipt in the trash.
