This week's dekePod, Stealth 'Shop, The Virgin Histogram, features a photograph of one of San Francisco's most infamous (and I think wonderful) pieces of private artwork, a great towering anatomically enhanced robot by Nemo Gould.

In the Conclusion to my video, I say, "Or go to my personal site, deke.com, which also contains the uncensored robot photo. And yes, that whole phallus thing, I was not making it up. It's quite evident." That's my way of saying, be forewarned before proceeding. Read more » 

In the latest installment of dekePod, you learned how to cover up your petty juvenile criminality by tricking Photoshop into giving you an alibi. One of the misdemeanors used as an example was rearranging the letters on a sign to change something innocuous . . .

But I know y'all count on me to give you the behind-the-scenes scoop.

And thus, this episode is the real deal.

Fittingly, it's also the first dekePod to feature a brief but welcome cameo from God (below).

The first "regular" dekePod goes live midnight tonight (or tomorrow, depending on how you measure such things). What time zone, you ask? At the rate I'm going, Hawaii.

Anyway, just alerting you all cuz when that thing hits the wires, our exciting contest, dekeQuiz #1: What Is Deke Saying? comes to a close, thus ending your chance to win some of the most exciting prizes ever envisioned by man, by which I mean, two books. Read more »
