(Actually, I'm glad he ran out of buffer [space to keep shots temporarily as they are recorded to flash memory] or this stream would have been even more embarassing... :D )
Thanks for taking

wow.. i read about the downpour, but didn't imagine it to be that bad.

if that kind of rain ever hit socal, every freeway would be shut down due to the sheer amount of accidents.

Ahhhh! DPI used for screen resizing, Nooooo! Mako, of all the people, I never expected this of you! Now, how many inches wide/high is my screen so I can figure out how many pixels to use? }:)

I set my Photoshop Cropper tool to 96 pixels per inch (did I say dpi? :-) and whatever height I want. Depending on the photo or end use, I restrain the width also, or not ...

Just drives me nuts when someone tells me their screen image was cropped to x DPI or x PPI. Screen images are strictly in pixels as Inches are arbitrary depending on screen size/res.

And on the scale of midwest downpours, that was only about a "6" or "7". Just last year, we had something like 11" of rain between 5am and 8am. And I've been on the freeway numerous times when cars pulled over to the curb because they couldn't see past their front bumper for all the rain.

Still wider than what the Minis run. The manly size does go on the Solstice though...

That would explain a few things. :) But evidently it was good enough at Wendover... Hmmm...
