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 [...]
Harlem Shake
Chocolate isn’t good for dogs. I don’t need a veterinarian to tell me that. However, I did need a veterinarian to tell me that a little bit of chocolate isn’t that bad for dogs. Come to think of it, a little bit of chocolate isn’t that bad for people, either. It’s the lot bit that [...]
Just Beneath the Surface
“In the static space of the architect, he might’ve used a double integral now and then, early in his career, to find volumes under surfaces whose equations are known — masses, moments, centers of gravity. But it has been years since he’s had to do with anything that basic…” — Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow, 1973 [...]
Chocolate Strawberry Fields Forever

If she needs a cone for more than a week, please email me your address, and we will send you one of our Pixie-sized, Sunflower Shameless Cones, gratis. And then they sent us one! Doesn’t Pixie look lovely as a sunflower? Make no [...]
Lip Service

And ten billion sushi dinners cry out for vengeance.” — Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, 1990 Sure, I can understand why actual sushi might bear ill will toward me and seek revenge for the wrongs I have committed against it and [...]
Our Kids Will Be Ninjas
“An iPod Ninja is like an iPod Nano, except it’s a million times thinner, it has awesome vid capabilities… and it’s a useable shuriken.” — Ninja, Question 10: Ninja Metal, Ask a Ninja “Our kids will be ninjas.” — Diana Pirillo, Pirillo Vlog 290 — Our Kids Will Be Ninjas Are people born ninjas, or [...]
A Doctor Kind of Day
Sparky? Barky? Call me what you like, as long as it’s not late for dinner. Diana was trying to get me to invent my own pet name, but I don’t think it works like that. I’m pretty sure that colleagues or friends have to come up with something that defines your character, usually derived from [...]
I Formatted the Footage
You ever do something terrible? Something from which you can never recover? I did. I erased time. I accidentally formatted the footage from earlier in the day for this vlog, so now I’m having a do-over. At least I had a few extra guys left on my quarter. (You know, like when you’re at the [...]
I Won the Super Bowl
Whoah! Did you catch the big game? The one where the guys wearing jerseys of one color went and bumped into a bunch of guys who were wearing other colors? An oddly shaped ball was involved (I think) to some degree; sometimes it was kicked, but often it was dropped, thrown back and forth, and [...]
