The only thing I got in my eyes are tears! Holy carp, Wil, and rest of the crew, that was amazing and lovely and heartwarming and tear jerky. Thanks for sharing!

After twenty years, I finally got to say this.
A lot of incredible and wonderful things happened at the Calgary Expo this weekend, and when I'm not as exhausted I'll write about all of them. Until then, though, here is one of them that I really hope you'll spend 5 minutes watching: If you can't see the video, you can watch it right here a...

Hurm...so, "show her my stamp collection" isn't what I thought it was going to be. Damn, now I have to find stamps. The magnifying glass will be needed either way. #crossesfingers #hashtaginablogcomment

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...
Face? Book? An app? All used to ask my wife out on a date? Your world frightens and confuses me.
I hope she types/clicks "yes"!

Thank YOU, sir, for thanking us.
As a husband to a Presbyterian minister, and a christian, it hurts my heart when so-called Christians act like major douche-canoes. But you, however, are a saint! Saint Wil of the Internets! HUZZAH!

On Sunday, I was personally offended that Chris Brown performed at the Grammys. Violence against anyone is never okay, but the quiet acceptance of violence against women we see all over the world is especially reprehensible to me. Allowing someone who beat his girlfriend so severely she was hosp...
I will read anything that has Francesco Francavilla on art: Some of the Detective comics, Black Panther: Man without Fear... He is splendid!
I'll read anything written by Nick Spencer (creator owned): Morning Glories, Infinite Vacation...
I love the duo of Scott Wegener on art and Brian Clevinger writing on Atomic Robo!
The latest run of Witchfinder: Lost and Gone Forever is beautiful with art by EC Comics legend John Severin!
I'll always be a Batman guy. I am digging Dick Grayson as the Gotham Batman. Batman and Robin is a fun read with some new additions to the rogue gallery. I just can't quit the Batman.

It's Wednesday, so here's a post about comic books
When I was a kid, I was a DC Universe guy all the way, with rare forays into the Marvel Universe to read a few X-Men books, and the occasional Silver Surfer 100 page spectacular (remember those? I loved those oversized one shots in the 70s and 80s.) I realized last week, though, that the bulk of...

a very limited (I mean VERY limited) autographed book lottery
Yesterday, I said: I found nine hardback copies of The Happiest Days of Our Lives that I must have put there when they first arrived at my house a couple of years ago. They look as perfect as they did the day they were taken out of the box. So I have this idea to sell them, that goes like this:...
OH EM GEE! I totally forgot to mention the Tiny Titans! I picked it up on FCBD2009 for my then 7 year old daughter and now I am hooked! Great fun from Franco and Art Baltazar!

A couple times a year, I have to go through all the comics and trades in my office and put them into long boxes that live in the attic. When I do this, I always end up pulling out a few trades that I want to read again, so now you know what I've spent most of my discretionary (note that I didn't...

I stayed up until almost one this morning, reading comic books. I know, it's like I'm 12 all over again. And it's awesome. Around four, Anne woke me up. "What's wrong?" I said, while I was still waiting to clear immigration between Dreamland and Reality. "Nothing. I just couldn't sleep, so I got...
I was just doing the same thing with my comics! And I just re-read The Killing Joke. Good stuff.
My current monthly pull-list: The Walking Dead, Batman and Robin, Batman(always), Morning Glories, Amazing Spider-man and Cowboy Ninja Viking.
The TPBs I've been getting into are Irredeemable, Atomic Robo, Y: The Last Man and Hellboy.
Might I recommend a classic comic? Mr. Monster. Great comic if you can find it. I'm talking about the old Eclipse Comics. I can't speak to the Darkhorse run they did of him. Hilariousness in every issue.

I'm a little slow catching up on the Burritos, but I'm very glad I did! This was great! The audio quality is reminiscent of the audio version of The Hobbit from BBC radio even with the music fading in and out. Kudos to you dear Sir! Very well done!

I already said this on the tweets, but happy birthday, Sir Wil Wheaton! I "sang" this song on my tweet, too, though it's much cooler from the source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fxmX230bzc
I wish I would get some cool tweets on my 38th birthday next month but being an introverted geek it would just make me blush so nevermind. I hope it's been a most excellent day for you!

FLASHBACK! True Stories From Famous People
When I was a dorky teenager, I was sort of thrust into the spotlight by Stand By Me and Star Trek. I've written before about how weird the whole thing was, and how uncomfortable a lot of the attention made me, but it wasn't all bad; I got to do some cool things, and meet some cool people as a re...

This post has nothing to do with its title, but after staring at this for 20 minutes trying to come up with one, I just grabbed the first song title I could find. Thanks, The Damned. Once again, you come through when I need you. We've had a drought in Southern California for so long now, even a ...
Sigh...very nice post, sir. Being the same age as you and with kids now (I even named the girls after a ball player, Orel and Hershiser...um, not really. uh. nevermind) I have thoughts of my past recklessness, look back with fondness and shudder. But, I guess we'll vicariously experience them through our kids, huh? Once again nice post.

I didn't have to look at the weather forecast to know that a storm is on the way; I could feel it with the first step I took outside this morning with my dog. As I stood on my patio and watched the steam rise off my coffee and swirl up through golden shafts of golden morning sunlight shot throug...

Anne is helping a friend move today, so she went down to The OC last night, in order to avoid the hellish traffic that exists on the Southern California freeways between 6am and 10pm just about every day of the week. This meant that Nolan and I were alone last night, free to watch the original ...
Whew! I'm dreading the nite I stay up waiting for my daughter, who is now 7 years old to come home. *Verp* I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Concerning the audio of MotF: I'm still holding out for a MST3K version. It's okay. I'll wait. Maybe I'll just read my copy of MotF outloud while I watch ST:TNG episodes. But that would suck 'cause I do a bad Wil Wheaton.

I stayed up way too late last night, waiting for Nolan to get home from the Horror thing at Universal. When I was younger, staying up until 3 was no big deal, but making it past midnight is a serious challenge, especially since my stupid brain insists on waking up between 7 and 8 no matter when ...
