Who Thinks Three-Day Weekends Should Happen Every Week?

Chris Pirillo — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:30:17 +0000

Please don’t take it personally when I say that I wish the weekends could be just a tiny bit longer. I’m always happy to be here, and my energy level usually fluctuates somewhere between that of a truckload of frijoles saltarines and a couple of puppies just before feeding time (not...

Maglev Choo Choos and Angry Facebook Dads

Chris Pirillo — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:00:46 +0000

Sorry, everybody. I ran a little late in starting TLDR today because I had a last minute interview. Correction: I ran a lot late. And I apologize from the bottom of my geek heart — but I appreciate those of you who were able to hang out and wait for me. Heck, I even appreciate [...]

Of Good Intentions and Bad Questions

Chris Pirillo — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:48:10 +0000

You know that I love you ladies and gents. I really do. But sometimes I think there are a few of you who never got the memo about the right ways and the wrong ways to go about asking questions that will get answers. I know that it’s in vogue to brush off just about [...]

What’s Your Price for Privacy?

Chris Pirillo — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:28:50 +0000

Everyone’s got a price! Admit it. If Google offered you a certain dollar (or pound or euro or peso or whatever) amount to install a program that would track your Web surfing habits and other personal Internet traffic data to make it available to various advertisers, you’d do it. Some of...

Google Me All Night Long or Bing Me (But Don’t You Dare iTouch Me)!

Chris Pirillo — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:35:29 +0000

There’s no such thing as an iTouch (at least not as a device that’s made by Apple or for family friendly purposes, I’m guessing)! For that matter, there’s no such thing as an iPod Touch. iPod touch (note the lowercase “t”) is the official Apple designation for...

LEGO Bells, Batman Smells, Catwoman Laid An Egg

Chris Pirillo — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:42:59 +0000

Hey, look here! I’ve got LEGO superheroes. I’ve got LEGO supervillains. When the lights go out, all bets are off as to what I’m going to find when I return to the home office the next day after a full night of rest. Or, in my case, a few hours of rest. Insomnia is a [...]

A Locker Full of Gnomies

Chris Pirillo — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:29:06 +0000

Fridays are always fun around LockerGnome World Headquarters. It closes off a week of steady TLDRs (and gives me a chance to recharge my batteries so we can do it all again next week), and Diana and I usually have our date night. This week, my parents are still in town, and my Dad was [...]

Would You Vote Through Social Media?

Chris Pirillo — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:13:48 +0000

So it’s an election year, and it’s always fun to imagine ways we could use technology to move the democratic process along — at least beyond how we used it last time around. By the next one (provided the end-of-the-world nuts aren’t correct about this year’s dire...

Facebook Stock? Now I Know How Much My Privacy is (Not) Worth

Chris Pirillo — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:00:33 +0000

Beef! It’s what’s for dinner. Sure, I know that Wednesday is supposed to be Prince Spaghetti Day, but sometimes you just need to sink your teeth into a once-living bovine to feel alive, you know? Nothing against spaghetti or its great assortment of extended pasta relations, but noodles...

I Love Software! I Admit It!

Chris Pirillo — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:15:15 +0000

No matter what operating system I’m using, I’m kind of a software addict. I love it. And I’m not going to promise to quit, because I don’t want to. You can’t make me! No interventions, please. I’m unrepentant. And as you’ll see as you read on, we talked a...

Scoldarobics: Finger Wagging Burns Calories (And Makes You Feel Better)

Chris Pirillo — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:03:31 +0000

“Monday Monday, so good to me. Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be…” And what do we ever hope for from a Monday? Do we attack it with gusto, not willing to give up the spirit of the weekend so easily, or do we hide in the back and hope it doesn’t [...]

Is Your Hourly Rate More Than Free?

Chris Pirillo — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:40:58 +0000

Wouldn’t life be grand if we didn’t have to pay bills, buy food for our tables (or buy tables, for that matter), or shell out cashmoney for shelter to keep our heads from being rained or snowed upon when the weather’s being less than kind? Heck, it would be nice if we could live...
