Rooting for Rooting (and Why Are Our Australian Friends All Chuckling?)
I’m rooting my device! All of the cool geeks are doing it, so I figured I’d find out what all the fuss is about. I’m also wondering why our Australian friends chuckle whenever I say things like “I’m rooting my device.” Maybe it’s my voice? My facial expression when I say it? I’m sure it’s [...]
Attack of the Vacuum Monster
The relationship between household pets and household vacuum cleaners is a long and tenuous one. You might be surprised to learn that, prior to the first Geneva Convention of 1864, the two were nearly inseparable with a bond of friendship that inspired the poets and philosophers of their day. This is largely because most vacuum [...]
Dianasaurs in the Cashmere Woods
“Great. Now I smell like Cashmere Woods. What the hell are Cashmere Woods?” Chris Pirillo, 2013 Smelling nice is, unarguably, a boon — especially to those who have to share any amount of space with you. But just like anything else, it’s possible to wind up with too much of a good thing. When the [...]
If We Can Vlog, So Can You!
Thanks, everybody, for your undying support! Thanks for sharing what we share with you. I think this year is the perfect year to kick off something like VloggerFair. It is happening, you’ve seen the venue, and you’ve heard me talk about it. Yes, there are other YouTube events, but no event, I think, is going [...]
Boyfriend / Husband Tag Questions
We made it to Pirillo Vlog #300, and I don’t think we made a single “This is Sparta!” joke in the whole thing. Or did we? You’ll just have to watch it to find out. Anyway, Diana has been threatening promising to run me through a gauntlet of questions she calls the “boyfriend/husband tag.” This [...]
The Man in the Mask
“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist, 1891 I walked in on Diana wearing one of these weird face-cleansing masks. In retrospect, the best thing I could have done at that exact moment was [...]
Four Things to Make Her Happy
What makes you happy? We all have a pretty specific short list of our favorite things in the whole wide world in addition to what probably amounts to a very long list of tangential pleasures that make us flex our giggle muscles. I think Diana should be happy that she still looks stunning without any [...]
What Should We Do with This Space?
Space: the final frontier. It’s also something that we’ve got a heck of a lot of at our chosen venue for the upcoming VloggerFair (in Seattle from June 7th – June 9th). In this edition of Pirillo Vlog, we go check out this venue — Terminal 5 at the Port of Seattle — so you [...]
We Love You
It’s Valentine’s Day (or Lupercalia, if that’s how you lean), and love is in the air! (Truth be told, it could just as easily be smog, but I’m going to take the high road and remain optimistic.) Won’t you join us on this journey of warm fuzzies and happy feelings before science comes along to [...]
Are We There Yet?
“Good company in a journey makes the way to seem the shorter.” — Izaak Walton, The Compleat Angler, 1653 Car trips — even the ones you make every day — are always better with good company, don’t you think? And I can think of no better company than Diana! (No offense to anyone who’s made [...]
