Plug away, Wil.
I was just catching up on your blog entries after being out of town for a couple weeks and wanted to write you a thank you note. I like your blog, I've enjoyed watching the Guild (which I found out about in the first place through your blog), and I appreciate how you're a big supporter of the nerd and gamer community. You're a stand-up guy. Nothing wrong with asking for a little support back, and it's stuff we're interested in anyway.
shameless self promotion
It is said that an artist's works sell as well as the artist promotes them. I struggle with this reality, because while it's simple and enjoyable for me to link to my wife's friend's store, or my friend's wife's Etsy shop, it feels weird and kind of gross to me when I promote my own stuff. But I...
Downloaded and donated. Thank you for using your powers for good.
BEHOLD Clash of the Geeks - The Wheaton / Scalzi Fan Fiction Chapbook
A long time ago, on an Internet far, far away, John Scalzi's brain unleashed the most epic and awesome and WTF image ever known in the history of all the tribes: The Unicorn Pegasus Kitten. But a Unicorn Pegasus Kitten alone wasn't enough, and so I was placed astride it, wearing the Infamous Clo...
So sorry to hear this. Ferris sounds like a great dog.
through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
My dog Ferris, who was rescued from a bus stop in Monrovia by my wife Anne almost exactly 8 years ago, had a heart attack and died this morning. It happened very quickly, and I was with her, which is supposed to make me feel better, but at this moment all I can feel is nearly-unbearable sorrow, ...
I just got back from seeing Watchmen. You were totally right! Thanks for encouraging us to stay excited; it was nice to enjoy going in without guarded expectations.
Spoiler Alert: WATCHMEN is fucking awesome.
Note: I have kept spoilers out of this post. Please keep the comments spoiler-free as well. I got to see a special advance screening of Watchmen yesterday, at a taping of MTV Spoilers. They showed us the whole movie, and then ran some clips from the new Harry Potter, the Land of the Lost, and th...
Hi Wil,
I ended up listening to Earth to Infinity because of this post, and I liked it a lot. Thank you.
this post has everything to do with ambient music
After years of various things coming up and draining the funds we've squirreled away to work on the house, Anne and I are finally able to afford to have some much-needed work done on our house (thank you, everyone who bought Happiest Days!) We should start sometime in the next seven days, and so...
Pure. Comedy. Gold. Between this and the Desert Bus marathon you totally made my day.
just in case you missed the macy's parade moment everyone is talking about
This is the best version I've seen. It came from MartiMcKenna on Twitter.
Only one on Amazon now. ;)
This post totally made my day. em:t 1194 and 76:14 are two of my favorite albums ever, music that I still feel is transcendent.
I second the recommendation for emusic. Big Fax backcatalogue, and paying by the track for 15-minute ambient epics rocks. Fax, Ratatat, and Maserati are my coding soundtrack these days.
Do you like more beat-heavy ambient like the Orb? If so, check out the resurrected em:t's gel sol 1104 album. It's what Cydonia should have been.
Thanks for the recommendation, and for reminding me of some things I love.
