The Most Recent Martini Hour Inspired Me to Doodle, Only in a Bad Way (If You're a Robot)

Did you ever do that thing where you blew off two weeks of college/university, and then you struggled to figure out a super-nonchalant/casual pathway back into the classroom? All the while thinking the professor was going to grind your butt to beanmeal? And then once you had the balls to reemerge, you did so with a vengeance? Well apparently me too. Only I didn't do it in school; I did it on my own website. And in response to a mild-mannered, cursing-and-swearing doodle post.

Thus, after a prolonged delinquency, I'm back. Which may be good or bad. I mean a deke.com without a Deke is, at the very least, harmless. A deke.com with a Deke results in this:

Still happyfying, hope you are too

Hey gang,

As usual, this newsletter goes out to you, the few, the proud, the registered users at dekeOnline. In case you're curious, there are now 1995 of us.

Get registering!

But enough about them, let's talk about you. By which I mean, me. Read more » 

Don't Fear the Lab Mode

My pastoral backyard

But this episode, I lift my mind from the gutter and send it merrily floating down a stream, a very real stream filled with imaginary colors that cuts through the backyard of a little world called Lab. Sound enchanting? Damn straight, it's enchanting! Here's the official marketing description: Read more » 

Ah, Yes, I Rather Made a Promise

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 »

Robot nuts & bolts

dekePod Episode 002: In this second regular episode of dekePod, I pass along a technique of such magnitude, it will blow your mind. Because inasmuch as I every so often allude to another anatomical detail, the brain is what this video is all about. Not the "shorty" brain, but the "tally" brain. All the way upstairs, with the rotating bar and the fine dining. Here's the official marketing description: Read more »
