making a note here: HUGE W00TSTOCK SUCCESS
Friday afternoon, Anne, Storm, and I walked up the street in Seattle toward a towering red brick building. Next to the kind of ancient metal fire escape that inspires poets to write about life in the city, a sign was painted on the side of the building. It identified the building as a theater, th...
Ooohhh, I can't wait...I know where I'm going to be at 9:30 tonight!

I'm in Canada, working on Eureka, so I couldn't watch the previews CBS put online for The Wheaton Recurrence. Using all of my Evil Wil Wheaton powers, I contacted a sympathetic mole deep within the CBS Fortress of Power and got my hands on this preview.* I'm sorry I had to disable embedding, but...
Wow, a Vectrex! I have one sitting at home in my back room! Sadly, I don't have any of the color overlays :(.

the fountain of youth
I spend a lot of time remembering and writing about the video games I played while growing up, mostly because it's the closest I can come to actually playing them, until the magical day arrives when I have an entire room in my house dedicated to housing a classic arcade and console collection. I...
Wil,
Loved the Rock Band story. In listening to this and other stories you've shared, it seems like you have an unusually close relationship with your sons. I mean you guys seem to really enjoy spending time doing stuff together and sharing your interests, even during those awkward teen years. I could never get my dad to play video games with me and eventually learned not to even bother asking. In fact, outside of an interest in cars, we really had very little in common.
My parents were 35 when I was born, so we were on two totally different planets from the time I was about 12, on through my 20's. Do you attribute your closeness with your sons to the smaller age difference, or something else? As I sit here at 31 with no "prospects" on the horizon, I wonder when/if I ever have kids, am I going to be the one that seems to be on another planet? Will I be as far removed from them as I was from my parents? Am I going to hear the "you just don't understand" phrase as many times as I fed it to my parents?
If it's not too personal, would you be able to comment more sometime about parenting and your family dynamics? It just seems like you have a good thing going that a lot of people (like me) could maybe benefit from.

Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty
Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! I must say, I'm pretty proud of my ability to get this one out on time. If I keep this up, I may have to remove the phrase "infrequently updated" from the show's description. Show Notes: The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc,...
Glad I'm not the only one! ROFLMAO!

Hey look! It's the Memories of the Futuremug!
It turns out that all this talk about getting excited and making things, uh, got me excited to make something. I don't remember the precise moment this hit me, but I'm pretty sure it happened during one of those times I felt stuck on a story or something, and decided to get out of my office and ...
I really like the "refresher course" idea. Ya know, it is so true! I'm 31 now, and I can't remember how to begin solving a basic quadratic equation anymore! The one thing that I have found actually gets better with age?...logic. I guess the Vulcans have the right idea...lol!

ten quick things, including some math, a comic, and a few ideas
I can't believe it's Friday, which means tomorrow is the weekend. Where did this week go, anyway? A few things I wanted to mention before I get busy: 1. If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be going to bed between 9 and 10 every night, then waking up entirely on my own between 6 and 7 the next m...
Man, she's got some funny stuff!
All this talk of music and I thought of something. One of my fellow Philadelphia bands released a new CD yesterday. Check them out at www.thenodd.com. Wil, I really think you'll like it if your podcast selections are any indication. It's quirky, indie, kinda rock and is pretty cool. In particular, check out track 6, Never Saw It Coming. I really think you'll be glad you did!

Molly Lewis is a national treasure
In the world of entertainment, there are things that make me laugh, there are things that make me cry, and there are the rare things that work on so many different levels, or are so surprising, they simply drop my jaw to the floor and blow my mind. This cover of Poker Face by Molly Lewis is one ...
