Colleen-o-Vision Tribute to Birthday Deke

Filed Under

If I could, I’d give you this 24K gold martini necklace in real life. You’re the king of this hill, and we adore you of our own free will not just because you decree it to be so. Happy Birthday, Deke! (You really are the tops.)

  • Happy Birthday Deke - You and Russell Brown in the Martini Loung

    wen

    Deke and Russell - what a great double.

  • Of course, I get outed on my birthday

    I mean, how fair is that?

    Thanks so very much to Bruce Heavin of lynda.com for this. Worse, he accurately identified me with nothing more than a common iPhone. Seriously, I had no idea my thin veil of a disguise was so thinly veiled.

  • Happy

    Of course to show just how much we/you care buy a book or something to help support the Deke. And when is he coming to our town(s) to do a seminar?

  • Happy Birthday!

    Birthday wishes have gone around the world.  You have global domination-Time to party? Have a great one!

  • Happy Birthday, Deke!

    I called (888) dekePOD and left a question: Do you want the post-birthday party bond money in $20s and $50s, or as a cashier’s check?

    To the best balance of brains, talent, chutzpah and humor in the business: Cheers, my man.

  • coincidence?

    My b’day was a couple days ago, and I received CS4 Channels & Masks as a gift. Coincidence? I think NOT!

  • Where’s Deke

    Happy Birthday, Deke.
    We really missed you and lynda.com at Photoshop World….lots of us!
    Best wishes,

    Roger

  • Hey, man, thanks for that!

    That’s great to hear. Plus, got a call a few hours back from Jeff Schewe and Bert Monroy and Martin Evening and John Paul C, wishing me well and relating their various experiences. It was really sweet, actually (if a dude can say that about a call from a bunch of other dudes). They all mentioned how much earlier they were getting to bed without me there. I had no idea I was such a bad influence. Which made me feel excellent, of course.

    Anyway, I missed it, too. I gather I’ll be invited to Vegas, whenever the Fall event is. In which case, be forewarned: All your base are belong to me, baby. (Altho, in real life, I’m an exceedingly mild-mannered guy.)

  • Now that was nice

    If I was a zygote trying to select the guy I wanted to be, that combination of adjectives would be precisely it.

    Thanks for that, kind sir.

    (And to answer your question, any denomination. But look, the judge won’t let me go for less than 100 large. You got that, right? Tell me you do. Bail is the publisher’s responsibility, yes? That’s what Hunter told me.)

  • Happy birthday \“young man\” ;)

    Happy birthday “young man” ;)

  • Happy Birthday from Thousand Oaks

    A little belated, sorry.

    Everybody I’ve checked out so far with my Cylon detector is human, including my dog. I’m a little jealous, actually. Maybe that explains your Photoshop and Illustrator super powers.

    Hello Deke,

    Oops, a few days late.  Hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration!

  • What-what-what?!

    30 comments and nobody’s going to bust our favorite editor-babe on the spelling of “Your the king”? Tsk, tsk.

    OK, now that that’s out of the way, Happy Birthday, Deke!

  • A belated Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday from Northern Nevada! Hope you had one of the best times of your life.

    p.s. Love the way you teach Photoshop CS4! I’m still a beginner but catching on fast for a person that is obviously (or maybe not so obviously) older than you.

  • I believe C just left out a word or two

    As in “Your [online persona is] king of the hill.” Or “Your [kooky but humorous visage shall soon be] king of the hill.” Or ‘Your [engorged endocrine gland can’t help but be the once and future] king of the hill.”

    The possibilities are endless. It’s a chance for your to flex you imagination.

  • I Know Not of What You Speak

    OK, Dread, you’re the king today!

  • Happy birthday to one of the

    Happy birthday to one of the best Photoshop tutorialists around! I’m still getting the hang of CS4. I’m a Mac user, so I usually dive right into my new media programs like a boy in a toy store, but CS4 has been a little trickier than I’d anticipated! I have to do some photoshopping now and then at work, and I usually prefer to figure it out for myself, but Deke’s videos have helped me out more than a few times when I’ve been on a deadline and trying to get the hang of some tool or trick that I just couldn’t grasp, so I’m more than willing to raise a toast to his birthday.


  • Happy Birthday

    Happy birthday from me too.

  • Happy Birthday

    Happy Birthday!

  • First consider how much you

    First consider how much you want to spend to hide the oversize gift. If the cost of the wrapping is not a big concern, why not consider putting the gift in something useful that then becomes another gift.

  • Happy Birthday

    looking for more good tutorials from you, as you provide always…your tutorials are great to learn…..Happy Birthday to you.

  • A Toaster huh!

    Happy (belated) Birthday Deke.

    (I never knew Deke was a Cylon! Surely one of the good ones. Gotta watch those iPhones…).

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY

    Happy birthday dude!!!

    Lots more to come as well as PS and Illustrator classes.

    Best of all.


    God bless.

  • Is it safe to send email to

    Is it safe to send email to PM/President wishing success or happy birthday/or happy new year?

  • I don’t know how you do it

    But you manage to make learning about some of the biggest, ugliest, meanest programs on the planet (aside from Publisher, which is just distasteful), so practical and easy! I can almost hear you singing the ‘meeeeeee’ in the Happy Birthday song right through the screen—you’ve shaped that vowel so nicely in the photo! Well done Colleen.
