Then I must own one!

in which i make shopping fun
Shopping sucks, so some of us do what we must ... because we can.
Wil, I hope you never grow up.
And thanks for putting in the background music. The extra time you spent on the details really added to the moment. I got lost in time there for about 23 seconds. OK, 46 seconds. I've watched it twice already.
Best Wil Wheaton cell phone video ever!

I want Wil Wheaton to come to my house and serve me dinner. If that's not a possible Christmas gift, how about a charity auction, Wil?

"perhaps, he thought, christmas doesn't come from a store..."
But we all know the Grinch was wrong, and Christmas totally comes from a store! YEEEEEAHHH!! Um. Well, as threatened promised yesterday, here's the Wil Wheaton Holiday Gift Guide, a perfect place to send your friends who are wondering what to get you this holiday season, to show you how much the...
Wil celebrates being selected for the lead role in the new live-action Smurf movie with his fellow cast mates.

This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...
When you stare at a blinking cursor, alluding to being stuck on this thing that you are writing, is that thing you are stuck on something "big" that we will be able to sit down with and immerse ourselves in? Or, is it just a blog post? Perhaps just a personal note or practice script for a bigger project you are thinking of but may never materialize?
I'm curious because you talk about so many things that you write, plan to write, or have written. I'm still expanding my library on the have writtens and am always looking forward to adding the next item to my Wil Wheaton collection.

"Let me in from the cold. Turn my lead into gold. Because there's a chill wind blowing through my soul, and I think I'm growing old." -Pink Floyd. In addition to Project Do Something Creative Every Day for the Rest of the Year, I am in the middle of Project Exercise Every Day For The Rest of the...
Thank you for properly recognizing the ENGINEERS as the people who saved those miners. And, with the hope of not turning this political, it was also the ENGINEERS who stopped the Gulf oil spill. And, I may add, they did it VERY QUICKLY once the government and management got out of the way and let them do their job. Some day, I pray, engineers (who are some of the biggest geeks around) will finally get recognized for their successes and not just blamed for others mistakes.

precious and fragile things
I'm sitting in my apartment in Vancouver, finishing my coffee and oatmeal. My iPod is shuffling through a massive 80s alternative playlist I made before I came up here, so I've been accompanied by Elvis Costello, The Smiths, Souxie, Depeche Mode, The Jam, and Bauhaus while I start my day. I'm no...
I remember that day in grade school as well. When the world was projecting doom for space research, I was even more motivated to find a career in the space industry. By the age of 22, I accomplished that goal and we have a nice shiny station in orbit that I can proudly say I had a hand in doing. My life and priorities (and job) may have moved a bit since then, but I still find myself deeply connected to the industry and can't help but think about all the people working silently in the background who actually make these things happen.
And yes, NASA needs a bigger budget!

On January 28, 1986, I was home from school with the flu. I remember that, no matter what I did, I couldn't get warm, so I was sitting in a hot bath when my mom knocked on the bathroom door. "There was an accident with the space shuttle," she said, in the same voice she used when she told me th...
For some reason, Wil, when you say Lizard Brain I think Sleestak.

You know about the Blue Car Syndrome, right? It says that when you buy a blue car, you suddenly start seeing blue cars everywhere. It doesn't mean that there are actually more blue cars than before, it just means that you're more aware of them. About a month ago, I read something about The Lizar...
It's nice that your wife (and dog) lets you play video games all night. I often wish mine would.

regarding the matter of video games v. movies
I had the house to myself last night, so I could watch whatever nerdy DVD or DVR'd movie I wanted, as loud as I wanted. I've been talking about re-watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended editions, of course) for a couple of months, but when I finally had a chance to get started, I ended...

Happy Halloween!
More spooky pictures from past Halloweens in my Flickr stream. Last year's Halloween edition of Radio Free Burrito.
This is me. Created a typepad account just so I don't look like an anonymous botter.

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 ...
