My husband readily admits this is his only purpose to use Linux, to set it up. Ah, the lazy Saturday afternoons, listening to the new and creative cursing, brought on by the fact that he compiled his own kernel and forgot something important... like some kind of I/O like USB or ethernet. All so he could shave parts of a second off the boot time. :)
Wil Wheaton Prime uses Linux to bring you Evil Wil Wheaton sitting in Sheldon's spot.
This picture was taken right after we finished shooting The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary last year. I'm not going to lie to you, Marge: it's one of my prized possessions. It's taken me this long to share it, because shortly after I upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, all of my Macs and my HP sc...
Who the hell gets a creepy clown doll as a gift... unless you really hate the person you're giving it too? That clown scares my husband and I to this day!
Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty-Six
Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! At long last, the planets align, I have time and ideas, and the GDMF construction next door is quiet. Show Notes: The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc! Ra...
And you'll be scored by the BSG composer too. But taikos? Probably not... but maybe? :-)
Speaking of which, Frak Evil Wil Wheaton for breaking up Leonard and Penny!
Next time you're on (I'm sure you will be), the clown sweater is the only fitting retribution. :)
rain down on me from a great height
I had a very short day today, and was wrapped just after lunch, so I had the afternoon to myself to take care of some very important business. Before I get to that, though, a little bit about working on Eureka... The good news is that I was given permission to twitter and photograph from the set...
Bear McCreary and Wil Wheaton! Win!
Bear usually gives everyone themes, so keep your ears open for any recurring musical passages whenever you're on the screen. :)
This also means you're one degree from BSG. ;)
Eureka!
I'm heading up to Vancouver later this week to shoot an episode of Eureka! The SyFy (I know they're my new employers, but it still pains me to write that) Channel put out the following press release this morning: Actor, author and blogger Wil Wheaton of the popular television series Star Trek: ...
I laugh-snorted when I saw that screenshot. I've got Stella too. I even have the USB proper joystick that you can get online that some retro game fan has manufactured and bundled with Stella... ah, found it:

Anyways... I haven't gotten to this one yet on Stella, but my laugh snort was from my inner child, having THE SAME reaction as you did.
I was an only child, and as a girl, all my friends were girly-girl and didn't talk about gaming. So I had no idea that this really did suck. I thought I was just doing it wrong.
Now thanks to the internets and being officially out as a geek, I know what a sucky game looks like... and it is here.
Oh we've come so far. I gotta see if it's as bad as I remember tonight.
the most beguiling, horrible, opposite-of-fun experience I'd ever had
Reader G.M. e-mailed this picture and said, "How the f**k I ever believed that THIS was E.T., I'll never know -- but I still played it for hours and hours." The picture unlocked a memory I haven't thought about in a long time, but wanted to share: Around 1982 or 1983, before City Walk at Un...
