What's going ON in here?

Here's a dumb and funny story. I used to hang out with Rodney Bingenheimer (see the movie "Mayor of the Sunset Strip"), a Los Angeles disc jockey and hay-day (70's) Sunset Strip club owner, responsible for introducing a tremendous lot of music to the States...Bowie, Dramarama, Go Go's, Blondie, etc etc.

Here's a bad photo of us around 1997.

Well, I am of course a rabid David Bowie fan. KROQ holds the "KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas" at the Universal Amphitheatre every December. When I heard Bowie would be performing, I ecstatically accepted a pass from Rodney (who ironically sent out Bowie's demo tape to producers in the late 60's; they remain friends) and sat through the guy from Green Day bearing his derrier.

Here's a backstage photo...no, not of the derrier.

Bowie's in the middle with yes, a mohawk, and on the right is the guy who directed the movie about Lou Reed (I think). What takes the cake? I was too scared to ask for a photo WITH Mr. Bowie. Duh...duh...duh...

Rodney! My brother and I grew up listening to that guy on KROQ. Certainly had the knack for turning over rocks and finding stuff you'd never hear anywhere else... Bowie's looking dapper as always...

Where did you make that photo?

I made the photo here at home on my computer using a
variety of software.

My computer is nothing fancy; the CPU is just an old Pentium
233Mhz.

Zo loves bubblewrap Way, way too freakin' cute. Well, I'm off on a redeye tonight for a few weeks of vacation in the Adirondacks (northern New York for you geographically deprived among us). My uncle has a place on an island in Upper Saranac Lake, near Lake Placid. I don't have any summer pics on the 'puter, but here's a winter shot when the lake is frozen 3 feet thick; just imagine all the white stuff is water. Birch Island getaway And here's what I'll be doing after a long, hard day of wakeboarding/fishing/drinking: Hunter on the dock Sorry the pics are so small. Damned technology... I know you will all miss me very much and please know that I will be thinking of you about once every fiftieth time I head to the fridge for a cold one ... They only have dial-up there, so I probably won't be checking in very often. Please don't cry. Cheers! Hunter p.s. I know it's a dirty, thankless job but would someone please keep an eye on iagoswife for me while I'm away; I'm afraid that in my absence her unchecked ego will inflate to epic proportions    ...

I think it's so sweet that you're jealous.

Muwahaha! the boards are MINE, all MINE

Oh my god!!! Where did you get this from? Is that photomontage?

I found that photo on Google one day when I was searching
for Enterprise NCC-1701 pictures.

I don't have any details about the photo.  The main web
address of the site hosting that picture just comes up with
an internal server error message.  Still, that photo is there.

You have to love that Google Image Search!

You can upload any image files from your 'puter, and get a url for it. Well, I registered and stuck some photos in there, but none of that explains how you put something here to get it to pop up. That's the part I knew I didn't know how to do, and probably the part that everyone else figures needs no explanation! So how?

Okay. Under the picture that now appears in your photo album at photobucket, there should be three info bars (url, tag, and img). Click on the bar with the url (top one). Write down that entire address.

When you want to post it here, write in the box as you normally would, then when you want to show the photo, click the little button under the icons that says http://, and type in the url that you wrote down for your image. After that, you'll be asked to give it a title.

"Preview Post" to make sure it works, then viola!

Can't wait to see your pics! PM me if it doesn't work and we'll figure it out.

Here's one: I wish they all could be California boys Yay!
