20 mph signs

20 mph signs

This... is... cool...

School children paint signs to hang on every 20 mph speed sign in town.

Simple, bold, blunt... and in strange colors. Direct messages that only kids could tell.

Enjoy.

Firefox - The Browser, Reloaded

This might be too "Inside Geek" for my core readership (Hi, Mom!), but I thought I'd post it anyway. This is a fine browser. It's fast, crisp and it looks good. it has all the features you need (pop up blocking, tabbed browsing, built in google, standards compliant) and nothing you don't need (email, marketing ties, chat).

I'm on a fast DSL line, and I even notice a speed difference on loading pages. It also seems to be better at loading the text first, then the pictures... great to figure out you have the wrong page before some huge pic file loads up.

I suggest you all give it a try. It's a quick download, less than 6 megs, and there is almost no learning curve.... unless you want to use some of the more powerful features. For normal browsing, it works exactly like any other one.

And it's not like you have to give up your old one. I often have both of them going at one time.
