Deke's Reality

Are you really a man? See if you have the skills to show it.

Men are fixers, we have a problem and have to fix it. Otherwise if we can't fix it then were disappointing ourselves and others. That's in the man's mind-eye anyway. So here is a great Skills guide that if you have or can learn these skills, will cover you quite nicely so you can continue being a great man!
Popular Mechanics has the every man should know list, and you’ll notice none of them are anything like ‘knowing if your anti virus is up to date’ or 'writing html code'

Didn't know Colt 45 could be so elegant

I never thought of Colt 45 like this before. They were appealing to a much different demographic in the 60's I guess.

Flock: Social Web browsing.

I signed up for the beta for the RC3 of Flock and am enjoying the built in features it has so far. The social networking services already built in include: Facebook,  Flickr,  Twitter, and YouTube. The handy sidebar lets you keep track of your friends on these services very easily. Also included in this 1.0 version of Flock is a host of blogging services. I am trying my first blog post from Flock's Blog editor which is connected to my new TypePad account. Plus you also can get integration with your social bookmarking if you have a del.icio.us or a ma.gnolia account. To top it all off you get a browser built on the Mozilla code which makes me feel nice and secure and very at home after being a Firefox user. So go try it out and see what you think!

Trying another route with this blogging attempt.

Alright so the Wordpress on my own server didn't work out to well. So therefore I'm going to attempt doing this blog using TypePad so hopefully it will meet my needs while still keeping things easy for me. So I'm going to get working on the design a bit and then hopefully more post will follow.
