Internet Reality Show People
When I try to tell people how Diana and I describe ourselves and what we do, a few phrases get tossed around. None have really been as catchy as I’d like, though. Internet Reality Show People? Couple Who Makes a Living from Being Themselves? Broadband Hoarders? Maybe I should ask Sir Mix-A-Lot for ideas. Even [...]
Taco Square Readers and Milk Bags
Some things are silly no matter how you say them. And some people write articles on LockerGnome as a clever way to make me say such things out loud during our live TLDR broadcasts. But is the joke really on me? Maybe I would have said funny things without subtle manipulation. Now you’ll never know! [...]
Spanish Gamblers and FPS Doctors
Does reading about building your own computer frighten or enlighten you? Is Minecraft anything like Second Life? Have you ever needed to type the characters from a foreign alphabet into an English-centric American keyboard? In first-person shooter games, are you one of the problems, or one of the solutions? Do you love horror movies? Are [...]
Let’s Do It and Let’s Do It Funny?
Doctor, Doctor, give me the news… When you’re at the doctor’s office, do you find a lack of tongue depressors to be depressing? Are you patient enough to fill out the patient form? Are you alarmed when equipment that may very well save (or not save, as the case may be) your life is numbered [...]
No Offense, But…
Ever notice how, whenever someone begins a sentence with the words, “no offense, but…” they will invariably proceed to say something that can only be taken offensively? Thanks for the warning, but… Here are some of the things on LockerGnome.com and in our live YouTube stream that we chatted about today. Are You Seeing Ads [...]
Geek Done Good
It seems that I grew up to be exactly what my high school nemeses said I would be: a geek. But where that expression was once a badge of shame, it now seems to encapsulate who I am rather than set me apart (in a negative way, anyway) from others. Bullies lack foresight, it would [...]
Dystopian Viking Playground
What happens when your Web 2.0 standbys go by the wayside and years of your creative content suddenly disappears? Is Humantenna a new Microsoft project, or a bad Syfy network movie of the week? Is Sweden a Viking Dystopia? Do you know how to get Adobe Creative Master Suite for $49? What’s better for video: [...]
Swinging is Disorienting
Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon? Is the new Mission Impossible movie a chick flick? Do you ever use your phone’s camera to prove that the store is out of something that your significant other wants? Are you in the rabbit habit? Have you ever ridden a seesaw sidesaddle? Is drinking wine from [...]
Ocarina Rollercoasters and Unpronounceable Boat Trips
Can you lose weight on a dinner cruise? Could Cold War spy tech keep us networking in the absence of an Internet? Are your email contacts compromised? Will you like the updated Google OS? Why is shopping online better than shopping offline? What the heck was that thing on my lip last week? Can you [...]
Motion in the Ocean
In this edition of the Pirillo Vlog, we peruse a farmer’s market (presumably to buy some farmers, though we just sampled a few on this visit), I get a whole bunch of LEGO (surprise, surprise), and Diana takes her first boat ride, ever! First impression? “Eww, it stinks!” It got better… Hate to feel like [...]
