It&#8217;s 35% transmission tint.  FL allows down to 28% front sides, 18% rear &#038; rear sides, but I hate the stepped tint look.  This is enough to cut down the interior temps a ton and look good doing it.  Between this and my official Audi windshield reflector, I can actually breathe when [...]]]></description>

<p>It&#8217;s 35% transmission tint.  FL allows down to 28% front sides, 18% rear &#038; rear sides, but I hate the stepped tint look.  This is enough to cut down the interior temps a ton and look good doing it.  Between this and my <a href="http://www.audi-collection.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=ZAW400811&#038;SKW=AUA4CF&#038;Cat=car&#038;SubLevel=12&#038;lcat=">official Audi windshield reflector</a>, I can actually breathe when I get into my car after work when it&#8217;s hit 100 in the afternoon.</p>
<p>In related news, I FINALLY have a windshield that doesn&#8217;t leak.  I think the weather strips up the side aren&#8217;t quite on right, but I need to get back to the dealer to look at one on their lot for comparison.  The Audi glass sheds rain water a ton better than that aftermarket POS too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I get my car&#8217;s windows tinted today!  Can&#8217;t wait.  Appointment is at 1pm.  Florida&#8217;s max is 28% front sides and 15% rear sides &#038; rear window.  I&#8217;ve been searching around to see what the various levels look like, and I think I&#8217;m going to get as close to 28% all over.  I don&#8217;t like the stepped look that&#8217;s common on vehicles around here, and I don&#8217;t need to be pulled over for illegal tint, considering my employer.</p>
<p>In other news, I was one of the thousands of people who lined up in Titusville, FL to see Endeavor off last night.  <a href="http://twitter.com/NASA/status/2605019822">Fail</a>.  *sigh*</p>
<p>iPhone Push Notifications need fixing.  I have 3 apps that receive push notifications &#8211; AIM, Star Defense, and Prowl.  I got them in that order.  After each one, I noticed that my battery seemed to drain just a bit faster.  Now it&#8217;s to the point that my phone won&#8217;t even last a day with light <strong>actual</strong> usage.  Example: 10% drop in a half hour.  Fail.  <em>[For those playing the home game, that's 2 - count them - 2 fails for the price of one post!]</em>  Turned off Push, and I&#8217;m back to reasonable battery usage.  Apple: please light a fire under your developers&#8217; &#038; testers&#8217; asses and get 3.1 out (but only if it fixes battery usage with Push).</p>
