Chris Pirillo’s passion for technology has made him one of the more influential members of, for want of a better term, the techno elite. In the early days of the world wide web, Chris’ emailed newsletter was a must read for those who wanted to keep up on the latest news about this modern medium.

Several years ago he turned his Lockergnome image into a well known internet brand. Chris’ passion for tech hasn’t waned a bit over the years. Currently he sponsors blogs, hosts a forum, streams video from his home office almost continuously and writes a regular column for CPU Magazine.

Now it appears he’s decided to reinvent himself once again, this time as a developer.

Introducing Chris’ newest gift to the internet, at least the part of it that Twitters.

With Microsoft preparing to offer 7-9 different flavors of Windows 7, repeating the mistake they made with Vista, and many reviewers of the beta calling 7 “Vista SP2″, what are those great arguments about the superiority of Windows again?
