I wish you the best as always Chris.

Very sorry to hear this. Best of luck.

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope things will be okay for both of you.

Chris, I’m saddened for both you and Ponzi. I applaud your difficult decision to announce this to the world which is not an easy thing for anyone to announce, especially a “star”. I hope that you and Ponzi will be able to move on without too much pain and hurt in the process and I wish you the best in the future.

I am sorry, Chris

Sorry to hear that, but it’s good to see that you’re carrying in full speed ahead with your life.

Must admit, it surprised me (and I’m not a regular viewer).

Good luck with your endeavours!

I’m very sorry to hear this Chris. My parents are going through the same thing, but fortunately, it’s more so a peaceful deal which is what I hope your situation turns out to be. You’re a great guy, so it shouldn’t be hard to move on. Just stay busy with work and never doubt yourself. Good luck with everything!

Bummer dude. Guess it goes without saying that you have the support of the Lockergnome and Geeks community. I think I speak for everyone in saying that these things happen in life and as much as it sucks to go through, we hope that all will be well between yourself and Ponzi in the long run. If you need anything from us, you know we are there for both you and her as you go about this change. Best of luck my friend.

Best wishes to you.

Hi and WOW,

I am in shock and Awe right now… I cant believe what I just read. Someone on another network told me and I went and read this article and my jaw just dropped.

I cant believe ya’ll are getting divorced.
That sucks and sorry to hear.

Hopefully, its speedy though all the legal proceedings and pain and you’re able after awhile to find that MRS RIGHT again.

I was thinking that things weren’t right….so sorry. Stay strong.

I’m sad to hear this news, Chris. I do not judge, so don’t worry. You are both intelligent individuals, and I’m sure this decision was the right one. Divorce is never easy, and for that I’m sad and wish you both all the best as you move on.

My heart goes out to you. I’m very appreciative of everything you’ve taught me online. Cheers.

I have only been following you a short time, sadly to say. But what I can say that from what I can tell, and have seen you’re and awesome guy. I would not and will not judge you on this or anything really for the fact I don’t know you personally. But I can say that I wish you the best, and I support you’re decisions.

Im very so sorry to hear that Chris. Hioe you had a good time while married to Ponzi. Very so so sorry to hear. :(

I’ll always support you!

Bren

My thoughts are with you during this time.

Gosh Chris. I am so sorry. I keep hoping this is just another joke. Like the one where you two had a “fight”. So sadd if it is true. But you are in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear that you and Ponzi are getting a divorse. I always thought that you and Ponzi were a happy couple. I am so sorry Chris!

I am very truly sorry to hear that Chris, may the best of faith be with you.

Sorry to hear this, it is never easy. To good things.

Im very sorry to hear about this Chris, and I can only hope for something better soon.

I’m really sorry to hear that, Chris. I never like news like this. I truly do feel bad.

My thoughts are with you… stay strong.

im verry sorry for you man, i hope everything works out in the end.

WOW so sorry to hear that.
Best of luck to the both of you.

Sorry Chris..going through the same thing myself. Not a happy event for anyone. All the best

As a proud member of this community i will be at your side whatever happens both business wise or in your personal life. To end this i will quote a Johnny Walker commercial .. ” Keep Walking “

Chris, I’m so sorry about your issue. I hope that both of you will continue on living and leading happy lives.

I have always admired your knowledge and your personality and since techTV days. God bless you and your wife, i don’t know her or the situation, i just recently found you again . I follow you on twitter and go to you when i need to learn something…from your vids.
Life is full of changes, i recommend watching a half hour of Joel Osteen.

I also hope it is like when you two were “fighting”, though I highly doubt it… Best of luck!

Sorry to hear that :( Best of luck!

Chris,

I don’t know if you received my message on Twitter, but I want to (again) extend my well-wishes for both you and Ponzi in the weeks, months, and years to come. I care about the both of you a great deal, even going so far as to consider the two of you part of my extended family.

As a child of divorced parents, as well as recent divorcee myself, I know the pain of separation all too well. Which is why I send my love out to the both of you, and hope that, in the end, everything turns out for the best. I would also like to extend my well-wishes to the both of you, and offer any assistance or advice that I possibly can.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope that both of you, in the end, will be able to look back on the experiences you’ve shared together fondly, and that both of you will be able to move on from this ordeal stronger people.

Take care, Chris.

I’m not sure what to say but much respect for your willingness to publicly state this as I know you talk about transparency on the web and this is about as personal as it comes. Anyway, best of luck with everything.

Stay awesome :)

Chris. I could not believe what I read and I am very sorry to hear it. You are a fantastic guy and I am sure you will be able to move on strong and enthusiastic as usual. I wish you and Ponzi both the best of luck and I wish to say how brave you were in announcing something as hard as this. I hope you both prosper in your lives and that you recover from this pain safely and rapidly.

I’m very sorry to hear that, Chris. I hope everything works out well in the end. We’ll be here for you!

Best of luck. :)

Hi Chris,

I have been following you for a while, mostly as a lurker. I appreciate all the great info you provide, and I always enjoy learning new things from you.

This recent news has forced me to come out of the shadows and tell you that I am truly sorry and that you will have all of our support. Best of luck to you.

Best wishes Chris… I hope you and Ponzi both find happiness in your new lives. Remember the good times, and that an “end” is truly just a “new beginning.”

Sorry to hear that. I pray that you get through this time. I don’t know much about divorce so that is all I can say.

I know you may not feel like laughing Chris but I had to post this.

May your “Glove of Love” find another hand to hold soon my friend. Peace.
The community is behind you.

This is why I don’t like putting my life on the internet. It’s too bizarre. I also use different email and ids to post online.

Chris, I really can’t say much since it really is none of my business, all I can do is wish you the best of luck dude.

I almost wept all over my desk trying to write this. You two were really great people & made a really great couple. I wish to know not what happened or caused this divorce, even if you do post what happened, but I wish you two the best possible lives, & to continue life without hating each other. I wish I could say I was behind you all the way, but then again, I am behind Ponzi all the way, as well as you.

Best of luck,
Freelancer

Wow Chris, I am very sorry to hear this. I applaud you for opening up your personal life like this, and posting such online. I hope you find happiness in your life.

Best of luck, Chris.

Sorry to hear about that. Best of luck chris

This came as a shocker.
as a divorced man myself (1981) i know what you are going through right now.I support your decision to tell the community in the manner that you did through this thread.
Time heals all wounds,And remember you have your online community for when you do need to reach out to someone.
Be Strong Dude….better days are ahead.

Sorry to hear this, Chris. Good luck to you.

Chris,

Sorry to hear of this, going through it myself. If you want to talk ever, give me buzz

Andy Taylor

Sorry to hear that.
wishing you the best

Just hope you can look back and say you had fun. Cheers mate

omg I’m gutted to hear about your divorce I’m very sorry to hear the news and I hope that I doesn’t affect you too much.

So sorry, Chris. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear it Chris.

wow, chris. i feel for ya. divorce is always hard.

just dont let your haters hear this, they will have a field day

Chris I know you wouldn’ be announcing unless you were serious about things being broken. And I’m so sorry that you have to go through this publicly. It’s tough to keep a relationship going in the world we live in, which unfortunately I’ve found out more than once. Some things just work for one part of a couple and not for the other. What might have been possible to put up with in 1960 isn’t doing it for us today
.
One foot in front of the other, ok? And know that many of us are pulling for you.

So sorry to hear. There’s a lot of this going around I’m afraid. Best of luck.

So sorry to hear that Chris. Stay strong and I applaud you for being able to announce this publicly. Forever your fan!

Ben

I am sorry to hear of your difficult situation Mr. Pirillo. I hope you get through this difficult situation smoothly with no concerns later on in the future that may cause you to breakdown in any sort of way. Best of luck to you, keep doing what you do!

I’m so sorry about your divorce Chris. Stay strong and continue with your endeavors. I hope you guys end on good terms. Good luck :)

Hey Chris. Sorry it didn’t work out for you two. All my best in the future.

Wow so sorry to hear this. Best of luck to you and Ponzi. As I was reading this I could only hope that it was possibly a trick but seeing as it is nowhere near April this is probably not the case. I agree with some others who hope you two can stay friends.

hey, chris i totally understand and respect your wishes. Also this article has answered a lot of my question about were she was. but thanks for the update buddy, take your time and don’t rush.

Sorry to here this but I remember to just relax man don’t bury your self to hard in work you will just end up giving yourself high blood pressure.

good luck chris, hope you two will still keep in touch!

Hello Chris.

I have been watching you and your videos on and off for many months now. I truly have enormous respect for you, its not an easy thing to announce this sort of this to the world. I wish you all the best with your future endeavors, and hope that you come out of this ordeal a stronger person. Life always gets better, it truly does.

I wish you all the best for the future.
Take care.

Boy, and I thought I had problems… trying to find a decent DVD upscaler.

I am sorry to read about this Chris. It is such a shame and I wish you the best and hope the dogs are taking it well :)

Sorry to hear, dude. I’m going to write you a song and play it when I go back on tour with Van Halen sometime in 2018.

Wish you the best while trying to navigate through some really tough shit. We love ya, buddy!

Hey Chris,

Just would like to give my condolences over this and wish you all the best.

Stay strong man and best of luck.

Dan.

I was pretty shocked to hear about this.. I remember a time you called her your soulmate, however I totally get how these things can change so easily. It has happened to me.

All the best to you Chris.

I feel so sorry for ya Chris.

I’m just….Shocked.

I hope you find a new partner soon enough

Padraig

So sorry to hear this. Thank you for all your hard work bringing us all news and great info. You’re a great guy, Chris. In a little while you’re gonna get a humongous head with all the attention from the LAY-DEES!! Watch out!!
I really like Ponzi though and will still follow her and wish her the best also.

hope you know you have support and understanding from me and so many others. take care. keep in touch.

Some girls get attracted to the whole “Hollywood Phenom” thing. They build it up in their head. But the reality of it isn’t like how the movies make it out to be.

But sometimes people marry for financial reasons and look at the whole “If I marry this person I can use their fame for my advantage” but don’t tell anyone about it. In the end, sometimes it doesn’t work to their benefit, then the truth comes out.

But when the truth doesn’t come out it’s a marriage of lies right from the beginning and who knows what else could have been going on and the end result could be an ending of bullshite that you’ll be convinced is the truth.

So when in doubt, don’t marry…especially when it’s to someone who knows too much about you.

Both of you are great people… together or as individuals. It hurts but you wish the other well and step bravely into your new life.

Chris, i am so sorry to hear this. Hope for the best as always.

I guess some people don’t understand the request, “keep judgments to yourself. “

I hope you’re feeling at least somewhat better now. Best wishes.

On a brighter note, you will soon perhaps oneday have the wonderful experience of falling in love all over again.
Look forward to seeing many more of your videos.

Um, excuse me anon, but no one asked for your judgment. In fact the OP asked specifically that you NOT judge. What part of that can’t you read? You’re not helping anything. At all.

I Just thank God there is no kids involved (Wicket and Pixie excluding).

So sorry to hear that. I thought you two were a very cool and intelligent couple but I hope you both can get along well and remain good friends.

I’m sorry to hear that m8. I hope your Hawaii vacation is taking your mind off things. Enjoy the wine, the view, and come back a new man.
Good luck!
kp

I’m so sorry to hear about this. I hope you will recover from this! I think you will. Keep up the great videos!

I sorry to hear this happened! its sad, but i hope you get a wife that same interests, best of luck man.

Interesting that all the Google advertisements are about divorce, something amusing about that really given the nature of the statement.

Also interesting contrasting the comments here to the comments on the Digg article related to this, big difference there.

My Jaw Is Stuck Down.

MAN THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

I Feel VERY SORRY For You Chris.

I THINK I WILL GO CRY FOR 5-10 MIN AND CONVINCE MY PARENTS TO GET ME A MacBook

Sorry to hear, Chris

A very late reply. I’m sorry to hear about your divorce, especially since it’s a 2nd marriage. I hope that you find love again–I know several people who finally got it right the 3rd time.
