101 Photoshop Tips in 5 Minutes
Submitted by deke on 21 May 2008 - 7:16pm.
Pilot #2: After just one Pilot episode and two years of darkness (during which I was romancing my sponsors, not just sitting on my hands, BTW), dekePod is back and with a vengeance. We're calling this one Pilot #2, to be followed by regular episodes once every other week, assuming we don't all kill ourselves. (These things are massively time-consuming.) Here's the official marketing description:
If you've ever read a computer magazine, you know the idea behind "101 Tips."; One gala issue, lots of first-rate contributors, lots of quality information. And lots and lots of pages. But when's the last time one lone guy tried to capture 101 tips in video? In just 5 minutes of video? Set to music? This is the realm of dekePod, the once-every-other-weekly series from Deke McClelland. It's bold, it's brash, it's ridiculous. It's a podcast with serious issues. Enjoy.
The above movie is served up by blip.tv, which I have to say, rocks. (In-site embed + no branding + widescreen = rocks.) It auto-converts the file to a Flash movie and (I think, tho it's difficult to confirm) lowers the frame rate. For a smoother, less compressed version -- that you can download! -- try one of these links:
- For a standard-quality QuickTime movie, right-click here and choose Save Target or Download Link or the equivalent.
- For a slightly higher quality M4V file that you can play on an iPod, right-click here and choose one of those same commands.
- Or you can subscribe to dekePod via RSS or iTunes.
You can also check out the dekePod landing page at my book publisher O'Reilly Media.

Land of the Ice and Snow
Which is greener than Greenland, as everyone knows.
So with your post, we went from 1 Icelandic visitor to 24. Lára, you did something. What is your sway?
We north of the Line of Cancer (and yet still south of you) want to know.
