Not All Trolls Are Evil
You don’t have to be a Frank Reynolds to recognize the need for a troll toll on the Internet. But did you know that not all trolls are evil?
This Family is Nuts
Yes, I realize that my family is insane. Diana makes me watch weird television channels and listen to strange radio stations. Dad likes to drive in the rain. Pixie wants her cone back. Mom is a nutcracker.
All Mixed Up
So who’s coming to VloggerFair in Seattle from June 7th to June 9th? You, we hope! But if you’re curious about who else will be there, here are some of our confirmed guests so far: ShayCarl Charles Trippy iJustine SoldierKnowsBest TechnoBuffalo ShayCarl will even be recording for his upcoming documentary, I’m Vlogging Here; maybe you [...]
Which One of Us is the Funniest?
Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor? — Frank Moore Colby, 1926 My dad is a funny guy. There’s no denying it. But is he really “the funny Pirillo?” I’ve had my moments, too! To be fair, our [...]
No Sports Allowed
Sports aren’t allowed in our house. Especially not if the doctor has advised a certain someone (I’m not naming names, but let’s just call him a white-haired visitor from Iowa who takes half-credit for creating me) to refrain from watching them — and news — for the sake of his stress levels and heart health.

Sweeter Than Frosting
When one thinks of the Dynamic Duo, there’s usually a Robin involved. (Unless you’re thinking of those Korean hip hop guys, which is a whole different… dynamic, altogether.) Someone usually fills the role of sidekick, but neither of us could take it upon ourselves to not be Batman; now we’re both Batman. Is it fair? [...]
I Did Not Kidnap Tom Skerritt
My dad and I got to meet Tom Skerritt on the Microsoft Campus! And for the record, I did not kidnap Tom Skerritt. After all, on Microsoft Campus, Tom Skerritt kidnaps you. What were my dad and I up to at the Microsoft Campus? What was Tom Skerritt doing at the Microsoft Campus? What is [...]
Meet the Parents (Again!)
If you’ve been following this vlog for a while, you’ve no doubt seen my parents before. Still, it’s always a treat to have them here in Seattle with us, and if you’ve not had the pleasure of “meeting” them virtually already, then you’re in for a treat! Joe and Judy Pirillo, Seattle and the Pirillo [...]
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 [...]
