Career
LockerGnome began as a technology mailing list in 1996, offering tips and tricks for operating systems and applications, software suggestions (with an emphasis on public domain and shareware software), and web site recommendations.[1] The site later expanded to incorporate content syndicated from LockerGnome's blogs for IT professionals.[2] A web forum for help with and discussions about technology was run from 2002 to 2015.[3][4]
Pirillo is the author of several books, including Poor Richard's E-mail Publishing, Online! The Book with John C. Dvorak and Wendy Taylor.[5][6]
In March 2015, Pirillo announced he was resuming Gnomedex, but providing more of a fair or festival experience than as a single-track conference.[7]
In 2019, Pirillo joined Intel as a community advocate.[8]
