Here's What I Got
Coach keychain with valet ringlet, Nautica men's loungewear and robe, black socks, new grey Sketchers to go with my black socks, a sweater, Seattle's Best coffee, a Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder, tons of chocolate coins, a mint-condition Kenner original 1977 Darth Vader figure, a Jack Skellington snowman (one of 2000 made), a Nightmare Before [...]
A Very Merry Christmas
This is the BEST Christmas ever. I got everything I wanted and gave everything I could. It's been absolutely magical – and the day just started. After all is said and done, I'll list the loot for ya. I'm very happy, my friends – and I hope that your day / season is turning out [...]
Earthquake!
We just felt the aftershocks of this. Kinda felt weird. Now we're hungry for lunch. Who delivers around here, anyway!?
The Pirillo Puzzle (Part II)
The TechTV segment finally aired (streaming video forthcoming). When I mentioned “media projects,” I was referring to television and everything that comes with it. Yes, I'll be back on the tube at some point in the VERY NEAR future – thanks to the handiwork of Benny Medina and Handprint Entertainment. Which channel? Can't say. Rest [...]
The Pirillo Puzzle (Part I)
Have I gone into hiding? No, not really. As I've mentioned before, this year has been quite a tough one for me. In April, you might recall, TechTV and I parted ways. This coming Wednesday, you'll see my face on that channel again – if only for five minutes. John C. Dvorak and I were [...]
Elf Indulgence
After spending a wonderful afternoon at the Getty with old friends and new, we decided to catch a movie. Someone suggested Elf. Since I'm not a huge Will Ferrell fan, I balked at the idea. “Don't go with any expectations, and you'll enjoy it.” Sure, I've got $527 burning a hole in my pocket – [...]
Keith Oberman's Countdown
Tipped off by a recent comment, I tuned into MSNBC at 9PM in the hopes of seeing that Edison wax cylinder blooper. Sure enough, they played it a few minutes ago. “Thank you, Mr. Host.” What?! I have a name, Keith. It's Chris. Chris Pirillo. You killed my father. Prepare to die. No, not really… [...]
Horny French Guys
I believe I've discovered the horniest guy in the world – and he just so happens to be French. I'd say this beats the Paris Hilton video, hands down.
Wakka Wakka Wakka
Most of you have probably already seen the amazing SMB3 video that's been floating around the 'Net lately. I think Chris found something that tops it. With these files, you can play a mean game of Pac Man or Space Invaders directly in Excel. They each come close to reviving the classic coin-op sights and [...]
Margaret Cho Ate My Phone
I… completely forgot. When we traveled north a few days ago, I picked up a rather nice leather jacket at some random second-hand store (in the Haight-Ashbury district). Inside the liner was a pocket specifically designed to hold – of all things – a cellular phone. Guess what I found when I looked there a [...]
ET, Phone Home
My cell phone has traveled into the future… or the past. I'm not sure which, but it doesn't really matter at this point. It's gone, and I don't know where it went. I tried calling it, but it goes straight to voice mail. In the year 2089, the aliens from our past will uncover a [...]
Esther Dyson Spams
Should I be honored? “You received this message because you are an industry insider or have expressed interest in hearing from us. If you wish to be removed from our list please e-mail us at unsubscribe@edventure.com and we will not write to you again.” Bullshit. Oh, and get this post scriptum: “Sign up today and [...]
Writer's Cramp
Without blinking, I openly accepted the invitation to be a part of Blogging.la. And now that I've agreed to play an active role in the project, they've removed the toothpicks from my eyelids so that I can blink again. Who knew they'd have to resort to torture just to get people to post their perspectives [...]
Slashdorks
To all the fartknockers who are visiting here from Slashdot: I'm printing out every one of your inane comments and wiping my ass with them. Grow up, get laid – or whatever you have to do to become human. Your power is dwindling and your pull is no longer as fierce as what it was [...]
