I saw this earlier as well, it put tears in my eyes. When we try we as humans really can do incredible things.

I couldn't believe it, myself, but this is a real picture.
Last night, Anne and I got to go to the Jet Propulsion Labratory to watch the landing of the Mars Curiosity Rover. It was a powerful, emotional, inspiring experience. When I think about how these scientists flew something the size of my car to another planet and landed it almost exactly where th...
As I've moaned about before I'm in Denver, blah blah blah, sad, blah blah blah, happy blah blah blah.
Considering Falling Skies is one of my favorite new programs and I was completely addicted to it, I give you my sea lion of approval.
Kick Ass.

Two creators, one geek. Remember when I said I don't cancel convention appearances lightly, because I know how disappointing it is for the people who are attending. I assure you that this isn't a ploy to win a game of Mystic Warlords of Ka'a, or even a bowling match... this is just s...
I was going specifically "because of" you...not specifically to "see" you...Freudian slip?

This was going to be my first con, and I was going specifically to see you. I wanted to thank you in person for allowing me to embrace the young geek in me that I thought I lost so many years ago. But alas that is not to be, I'll just thank you here instead (thank you). Excited to hear about you getting amazing work, it's a worthy cause. Keep up the geek, and go KINGS!

Earlier today, I got an email from a Star Trek TNG cast member who will remain nameless. I've chosen the pseudonym Jonathan Frakes for the purposes of this post. "Jonathan Frakes's" email had been compromised, and I'd gotten one of the things it sent out, so I pinged him and offered to help him ...
Well how about that, I just turned 38 this month and I always would have thought you were younger than me. Oh well, best wishes old man!

Spock is not impressed that it's my birthday
During w00tstock last week, I mentioned that I was turning 38 this week. After the show, Anne told me that I was, in fact, turning 39. In the few seconds that it took me to do some math, I lost a year of my life. Apparently, this is the sort of thing that happens when you get to be my age, which...

on the delivery of technobabble
I was in three scenes yesterday, one of which contained a massive amount of technobabble. For those who don't know what that is: on a sci-fi show, technobabble is what we call pseudoscientific dialog like "I'll have to run a level four diagnostic on the antimatter inversion matrix to be sure." I...

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...
Wil,
I hate to say this but....
I feel like the ComiCon panel was a letdown to the real geek fans of Big Bang Theory.
Watching the video I felt like the crowd had more interest in what YOU were saying rather than the cast. Not in a bad way, but more like when you realize people are only actors and the characters they play are just that.
Truth be told the fans loves those characters, and so do the actors who portray them, but you bring more cred to the show than anyone because (other than being the dick) you were the person you portrayed.
It's almost like when I was young and I saw Harrison Ford in Blade Runner...Whoa.
Still, the show, its actors and crew are the best thing on TV

If you could ask the cast and creators of Big Bang Theory anything, what would it be?
This Friday, I'm moderating the Big Bang Theory panel at Comic-con. The entire cast will be in attendance, as well as series creators Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre. We only have an hour, which always goes by faster than we think, so I'm going to start out with a handful of my own questions before I...

Today is my last day on this episode of Leverage. In just under 24 hours, I go back to real life. Yesterday, I went over to Pioneer Square to talk with Stephanie Stricklen on a local news show called Live at 7. It was a good time, and I got to meet a lot of Portlanders afterward who came out to,...

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...
That is precisely 100% more awesome.

Wil, you should create an 'Evil Wil Wheaton' page on Facebook if for no other reason than to beat people to it. That and to share @dburns308 's pic with the world who may not see RFB 23.
