Always wondered when this would happen. Go boldly.
Treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home.
In 2001, blogs were very new things. In fact, as much more time was spent arguing talking about what blogs even were, and where they fit into the media landscape than was spent actually, you know, writing in them. In fact, I don't even think the word "blogging" existed back then, and whenever it...
Some make a good point.. "Evil" Wil is Sheldon's foil, but Sheldon can't exactly be painted with a "good" brush, although he is the protagonist.
Will Wil put up with Sheldon's crap? No. But few do.
Will Wil tweak Sheldon over his crap? Of course, we all would.
Kinda a bit of a grey area.
Answering a FAQ: "Why do you play so many evil characters lately?"
Every actor has a particular type they can play well, for some reason or another. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with who we are in real life, but it's just what we do well. Example: Travolta is amazing as the Lovable Loser. When he's in Welcome Back Kotter and Saturday Night Fever i...
Don't forget that douchey serial killer role!

Don't have enough W's to spell AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW(23)
Please meet the newest member of Team Wheaton
We were introduced last week at the Pasadena Humane Society, when Anne and I were there for a tour of the new facility WWdN readers helped raise the funds to build. We were standing in the lobby, talking about how much we love Seamus, when a worker walked in with this puppy. She had the exact ...
Words.. words... sorry. Thanks for playing.
Invoking Hitler violates one of the prime sacred rules of internet debate. You have crossed a hyperbolic line to which your point is no longer valid.
Good day sir.
Setting aside anger for something that I hope is a little more kind. (Or: when I break my own law)
A few days ago, I Twittered: "I can't stop laughing at the bigots who celebrated their solidarity with each other by gorging themselves on shitty fast food. Bravo, jerks." I still think it's silly that eating at a fast food restaurant is considered political activism today, but that's not what t...
Which is hilarious since NOBODY is forcing any religious people to preform ANY marriage they disagree with. Or accept members, hell we even let churches handle poisonous snakes in their services.
So your "persecution of churches" point, which even if you're being sarcastic, is one that many tote out and is totally invalid.

And Godwyn's law has been violated. Sorry Shane, you lose. Thanks for playing.

Back then, if they protested saying they were gay, they'd have been likely killed, ostracized, or otherwise harmed.

But Wil, you were right.
Defending themselves with a "free speech" excuse is either missing the point of the boycott, or just trying to split hairs because they like the product too much.
It was never about free speech. Free speech only protects your right to SAY THINGS, it doesn't protect you from repercussions of saying it.
Those of us boycotting are not doing it because they SAID something we disagree with, but that they fund organizations that work tirelessly to deny rights to a part of society they consider, in their words, "Evil" and "Abborant".
If it were about free speech, I'd have been there eating chikn.

MOAR STOREEZ PLEEZE!!!!!!
Ok, I wrote that in lolcat hoping that might help.
This is a real thing that happened.
I'm still processing the whole thing, through a mind that was recently completely blown, but I have to show you a picture, Internet: Anne gave me a surprise party for my 40th birthday. She spent a year planning it, and gathered 165 of my friends -- from around the world -- into one room to cel...
I see a new t-shirt.
"Hooray for gravity"
"Gravity Appreciation Day"
"Atmosphere Rocks"
A troubling realization
This comes to us from my son, Ryan Wheaton. Click it to embiggen: Click to Embiggen Footnote: If there was any question that love -- not biology -- makes a family, look no further than my son's delightfully twisted sense of humor, which I think I helped foster.
I shudder to think what her two things were.

They turned the next Galactica series into a webseries.
Need I say more?
I really miss this place
I took this picture on one of the last days of production. Whenever I watch Eureka this season, and I see an advert on the network formerly known as Sci-Fi for one of their stupid goddamn are-you-serious-with-this-bullshit reality shows, I get angry and then sad. Eureka was and is such a g...
Syfy (prounced siffee) has lost their minds. They hardly play Sci-Fi.
Of course MTV doesn't play music. Cable is so f-ed up.

That's why I love Find my iPad.
If you need one of us minions to find them and actually be a dick, let us know!
Someone found my Kindle on the airplane this weekend. I'd really like it back.
I left my Kindle on an airplane this weekend (post-convention exhaustion will do that to you), and someone found it. I know that someone found it, because they've been using my account to buy games and books. Based on the purchases, I'm fairly sure the person who found my Kindle (which is named ...
You guys should really push this at PAX East.
This is my new show, Tabletop
Last summer, Felicia Day asked me if I wanted to develop a show together for her new premium YouTube channel, Geek and Sundry. Spoiler alert: I said yes. She asked me if I wanted to do a show about gaming, maybe a review show or something like that. "I think it would be more fun do somet...
Filled with AWESOME.

Astroglide.
Yeah, I went there.
Things every person should have
Things every person should have: A nemesis. An evil twin. A secret headquarters. An escape hatch. A partner in crime. A secret identity. What else?
It's not just life imitating art, but life imitating AWESOME art.
life imitates art (or: I don't know much about brain scans, but I'll help you fix your computer.)
Earlier today, I got an email from a Star Trek TNG cast member who will remain nameless. I've chosen the pseudonym Jonathan Frakes for the purposes of this post. "Jonathan Frakes's" email had been compromised, and I'd gotten one of the things it sent out, so I pinged him and offered to help him ...
Thanks. I haven't watch MTV since they stopped playing videos.
Well, except for the Beavis & Butthead stuff they just did.
In which I am easily amused (again)
A few days ago, I saw this awesome thing that happened: Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa flew 220 miles into space to play with toys. His recent stay on the International Space Station included several hours of building a Lego version of his orbiting abode. When it was done, it looked somet...
Who is that guy and why is it funny?
I'd google it but I don't have enough data.

Yeah, but thankfully HTML5 will finally put flash out to pasture. Just going to take more time than Steve Jobs thought.
Shockwave Flash on my Macintosh
Yeah, but like all competition, it made QT much better in the long run and now it is far superior to anything flash.
I just hate how many sites use it when they have needed information on their sites, like addresses that you want to copy-paste into maps or something else. Too many restaurant sites and other places do that.
Flash for the sake of flash is just dumb.
Shockwave Flash on my Macintosh
Thanks for the heads-up on the song, Michael. When I tried to shazaam it the thing just responded with "f-ed if I know".
this is clever, cute, entertaining, and has the potential to be awesome
About a year ago, I saw this commercial: I’m not going to lie to you, Marge: I thought it was pretty awesome. It’s beautifully shot, it’s clever, and it doesn’t beat me over the head with some sort of BUY THIS THING message; it entertains me, which is what good advertising should do. About a mo...
Break a leg...
I hope you get the cameo in Ready Player One too.
in which i have an audition for a feature this afternoon
I composed a post in Firefox all about how I have this awesome audition this afternoon. Then, when I tried to publish it, Firefox hung for ten minutes before it crashed. I've been spoiled by stability, so I didn't do the ctl-c that was so pretty much automatic a few years ago... so here's the tl...
