Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

I'm Back
My trip was very good, more details to come. I did have some tech problems since getting home. First when I downloaded my digial pictures I noticed about 10% were cut off. It's as if not all the image was stored. My best guess is the SD card is corrupt. It's an ATP 130x 1GB card. I'll try a different card but if anyone has any hints, I'd appreciate them. My other problem was with my PowerBook. I used it last night (uploading pictures, checking mail). I put it to sleep and then this morning it wouldn't turn on. No chime, nothing on the screen, nothing. I took it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store (which was mobbed), the guy plugged it in and turned it on and it just worked. I felt dumb, but was glad it worked.

Are they cut off when you look at them on the Camera? If no try looking at them on another computer or at a kiosk in a store.
Unfortunately they are cut off when viewed on the camera.
Please let us know, but my guess is it's the camera.
I saw that happen once to a pic of mine that I loaded up on flickr. The pic was fine in my iPhoto collection, but on flickr the lower 1/3 of the pic was solid gray. Never thought much of it, as I thought it was just a corrupt upload. But it makes me wonder if it is in fact (in your case) the card. I would think if it were the camera you would see it more than just 10% of your pics. UNLESS, those 10% were taken with a specific setting. Perhaps that setting is (as my two-year old says), "bloken daddy".
