No, we don’t have flying cars, smart-ass robot maids, or magic pills that taste like a roast beef dinner, but do not despair! Technology has not totally failed to live up to it’s promises of ease and adventure.
If you have an iPhone (or an iAnything) you can download the app Taking Pictures With Dinosaurs and without leaving your sofa, you can live out all of your Triassic, Jurassic and Flintstonian fantasies! Dreamed of a T-Rex devouring your roommate when, once-a-fucking-gain leave there beer bottles on the coffee table? Done. Want to take a shower with a triceratops (you freak)? Doable. Wish a velociraptor would eat all of the tourists clogging up Lexington outside of Bloomingdales? I made that happen this morning!
If that’s not ease and adventure I don’t know what is.
And to up the ante, this Photo Phriday is a contest. The 5 best dinosaur photos will be determined by fonze count and then dearest Homoviper and I will crown the top 3. Winner gets glory and a lifetime supply of Nyx cosmetics.*
Las instrucciones:
1) If you want to use a pic from your computer, you’ve got to first upload it to the web. Click on either of these links: imgur or tinypic. Follow the directions to upload.
2) After the upload, you’ll see various links for your pic. Copy the direct link; you want the one that ends in .jpg
3) Come back here. Type this exact code (including the brackets and quotation marks) into the “Post A New Comment” box: <img src=“ ” /> and paste your direct link in between the quote marks. There should be a space between img and src (img src), but otherwise, no spaces between anything.
4) It should look like this: <img src=”http//www.yourphotodirectlink.jpg” /> Make sure to include those brackets.
5) If you’re using a photo already on the web: Right click (or ctrl-click on a Mac) on an image and select “View Image” or “Copy Image URL/Location.” Copy-and-paste the URL and use the <img src=“ ” /> code above
