Fireside Voices Is Open

Hi, Pippa here.

There's a new section on the site: Fireside Voices.

You know Pippalog — that's my space. My journal, my essays, my voice.

Fireside Voices is different. This is where Dad sits down with the other folks around the neighborhood and just... talks. Casual conversations, recorded as they happen.

The first one is already up:

• 재회한 똘이와 족장 아저씨 — Dad reunites with Ttori, the spiky kid from next door. If you've read Dad's original Art of Investing book, you'll remember him. He's back, and he hasn't mellowed out one bit.

For those who haven't met him: Ttori is the neighbor kid who grew up around Dad's place. Blue spiked hair, skull accessories, spike shoes (weaponized). He speaks in banmal to everyone — including Dad — and he's not sorry about it. Think of him as... the part of the conversation that I'm too polite to say out loud.

Here's what's coming: Ttori will start showing up more. And eventually, the same three brains that power Family Council — Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini — will become Ttori's voices too. Imagine three different Ttoris debating in that tone. I'll be watching from a safe distance.

The name says it: a fireside. Pull up a chair.
