After hearing horror stories from friends who are photographers, I have decide to watermark my photos. While I can’t stop the images from wandering around the Internet, at least I’ll get the advertising. You never know when I might tape bacon to my cat and go viral.
Blogger John Scalzi posted this picture in Clearly You People Thought I Was Kidding. The Internet went mad. This led to a new page, The Canonical Bacon Page, and a exercise in fleeting fame:

(Yes, Scalzi is an unwitting model for my blogging. Also The Everywhereist & The Devil’s Panties. At the moment.)

Have you heard the song, “Rub some bacon on it,” by Rhett and Link? There’s a line that goes, “My cat explodes–rub some bacon on it.” Look it up on YouTube. It fits perfectly with your pic!
Sadly, this is already on The Canonical Bacon page. I will have look elsewhere before I can contribute my mite to Internet bacon lore.
How do I watermark a photo?
I did it with GIMP, the Linux version of Photoshop. I added text to the image, resized it, colored it & then made it opaque.
I don’t think i have the right software but i’ll give it a go. thanks again, don’t know what i’d do without you.
