Where does the name Picalo come from?
(Personal note from Conan Albrecht, who named Picalo) I do a lot of programming at home. On the day I started Picalo, my two oldest girls (six and four at the time) were dancing around my home office singing the jingle, “Daddy, Daddy, there you go, let us see you piccolo (i.e. dance)!” At this point in the song, I had to get up and dance for the next minute or so. I thought it was cute, so I searched the Internet for variations on the spelling of the word. I was happy to find that Picalo (and its variants) didn’t have any negative connotations and were not widely used. I finally settled on the “picalo” spelling. The term has no relation to the piccolo musical instrument or other variations and uses of the word.
