Hi. I guess this is the first entry in my digital diary. It’s an open diary - Bunny and I thought it’d be a good idea to have a little place on our website where one of us could record our thoughts regarding what we’re doing (or trying to do). But before we get started with that, here’s a very condensed pre-history of The Pinky Show.

January 1, 2001: Bunny born in a small house in Culver City, California (Los Angeles).

March (?), 2002: Pinky born somewhere on the island Oahu, Hawaii (don’t know exactly when or where).

September 2004: Pinky decides to “get educated”. Enrolls in the Department of Education (State of Hawaii) Public Schools System. Expelled two weeks later for “willful insubordination, harassment of teachers, and attempting to incite a riot” (all untrue!). So much for formal education…

October 2004: Pinky leaves Hawaii to see the world. Disguised as a suitcase, Pinky hops a plane to California, and meets Bunny wandering the streets of LA a few days later.

November 2004 - March 2005: Pinky & Bunny basically just wandering around, looking at stuff, avoiding traffic, etc. Some of the places explored: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Death Valley (beautiful), San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver (Canada rules!), Chicago, etc. Decide to settle in the desert on the outskirts of Los Angeles (lots of space, peace & quiet) for the time being.

March 13, 2005: Rejected by schools, Pinky & Bunny decide to take their learning into their own hands… whatever that means. More thinking required.

April 4, 2005: Pinky & Bunny decide to make an eduational TV show. The premise of the show is simple: every episode we’ll ask a simple question, and then we’ll give ourselves 5 minutes to try to answer it. Pinky will research, write, draw pictures, and narrate; Bunny will learn how to run a computer and make a website. We’ll call it “The Pinky Show”, which we consider more catchy than “The Educational Show In Which Pinky & Bunny Answer A Deceptively Simple But Nonetheless Important Question in Approximately 5 Minutes”.

April - June 2005: much floundering and confusion.

June 29, 2005: Pinky & Bunny bump into sisters Mimi & Kim (also cats) in a random chance meeting in the desert. After talking a bit, Mimi & Kim decide to hang around to help with the show. Special talents: Mimi - math, organizing things, and hiding. Kim - reading (will probably assist Pinky with research and writing). Now we are four!

July - September: somewhat less confusion, but much more floundering. We decide to have the show available on the internet, since no television station in the world wants us.

September 11, 2005: The launch of the beta version of The Pinky Show website. Quite a few things don’t work yet. Lots more work to be done.

December 1, 2005: Our official opening day for The Pinky Show website. Everything (more or less) works! Yay! Here we go…
