It would have been cool if someone had made a Sarah Jane easter egg in memory of Elisabeth Sladen. My favorite companion off all time.
in which a good choice is made
Yesterday morning, my dad called and asked me, "So are the Kings wearing a crown tonight, or a jester's hat?" "It's a test of their maturity," I said. "They could easily be up 3-1 right now if they were a more mature team. If they can play their game tonight, instead of trying to out-Shark the S...
I downloaded your engaging short story read it on my kobo
and sent my donation.
I want more!
Please Wil I have to know what happens next.
Thank you can I have more please sir.
HUNTER is coming...
Check it out: A little excerpt from Hunter can be found in this post. Or you can keep reading here: Pyke chased the girl down a street still wet with the afternoon’s rainfall. A thin sliver of moon was glowing behind the thinning clouds, but it wasn’t bright enough to pierce the darkness betwe...
Real men wear Smurfs
now it's just getting silly
The thing is, I don't even like The Smurfs*, but we have a friend who is working on The Smurfs, and we feel compelled to send him as much Smurf-related imagery as possible. If you wanted to caption this one, too, I'm certainly not going to stop you. *Currently, that is. When I was 8, I fuc...
Love is a many splendid smurf.
merry smurfin' smurfmas, mothersmurfers
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...
Scotchy scotch makes me happy. Exspecially when I have the beginning of a nasty cold. Medicinal of course. Glenfiddich 12 year old. I really enjoy your marriage musings Wil. Thanks for sharing.
good evening (and good night)
"I want to have a date tonight. Do you want to have a date tonight?" Maybe I should have passed her a note that said "check yes or no" but after fifteen years together, I often think of these cute and clever things hours after the fact. Anne looked up from her magazine. "I like having dates with...
If you get enough dice you can do Sheldon diving in balls scene from Big Bang. You could then pop out and say Bazinga many many times.
Testing the theory that one can not have too many dice
Just before I went out to GenCon in August, I wrote: I have one request, which I hope isn't unreasonable: I'd like to test the theory that you can't have too many dice. If I see you at GenCon, would you give me one gaming die? I'll bring home as many as I get, dump them all on my office floor, ...
It's blogs like this that touch my heart and makes me keep coming back for more.
Thank you Wil
This is a very, very good life, and I'm grateful for it.
It's quiet outside my office window, like the heat and humidity is sort of absorbing and muffling most of the sounds that usually come through during a typical Saturday morning. All I really hear is birds singing, the occasional drone of a distant train, and the low rumble of thunder out over th...
I guess I was raised in another time and place. I would never do what he/she did. If I want Wil I buy Wil. End of story.
an open letter to the guy who put just a geek the audiobook on his website for people to steal
Hi there, guy-who-I-won't-link-to-for-obvious-reasons, I'm Wil Wheaton. I wrote Just A Geek, and I created the audiobook you're helping people steal. You may not know this, but I 'm just one guy, without a publisher, so when you help people steal this copy of Just A Geek by making it available f...
Thank you for sharing this Wil.
First time this month I had one of those smiling so much it hurts faces.
Makes my heart feel 100 times better than it has in a long time.
wil wheaton gets lucky ... sometimes
This was the ultimate highlight of my #PAX 2009, and watching it again just now brought tears to my eyes again. I'm not worthy of something this awesome. Thank you Jonathan, and Paul, and Storm, and Molly for making me feel cool. I <3 you guys.
Wish I could be there,the chapbook looks amazing.
it's the final countdown (to PAX 2009)

How truly heartbreaking to lose Ferris. He was a steadfast life companion who filled each day with joy and love.
My sincere condolences on your families loss.
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 wanted to mention that my other favorite blog
True Crime Report mentions Wil and his twittering during a recent
car chase.http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/02/dj_khaled_wants_you_to_know_he.php
Wil you are everywhere!
justice is served, edo-style!
I understand that SciFi Channel has just finished serving up a special kind of Justice. From our first season on TNG, it's full of growing pains, but it remains one of the most unintentionally hilarious we ever did, and if ever there was an episode worthy of a Riff Track, well, I think this one ...
Thank you for a great year Wil.
I enjoyed reading snippets from your past entries.
You have made me smile again.
the 2008 year in review, part one
2008 was supposed to be the year that I wrote a whole bunch of fiction. I got a lot of things started, finished an important project, but I didn't finish the two projects that were most important to me. I'm going to blame my failure on losing three months to sinus surgery recovery, and a busier-...
She was a great lady and I had the utmost respect for her. She will be missed.
a moment of silence, please.
Majel Barrett Roddenberry died yesterday. She was a hell of a lady, who loved Star Trek and Star Trek fans like no other. Some knew her as the original Number One, some knew her as Lwaxana Troi, and everyone knew her as the ship's computer, but I just knew her as Majel, my friend Rod's mom, who ...

While I don't understand what you wrote, it was still
nice that you addressed it to the humble reader.
Thanks Wil!

I am very happy and excited for you Wil.
As one of the 300 I do not feel less special but am proud of this latest achievement. Unfortunately I won't be buying the new version as money is tight this year. Husband had his hours cut back so I might have to wait until next year if things improve.
Subterranean Press to release special edition of Happiest Days of Our Lives
Shortly after I published The Happiest Days of Our Lives , Bill Schafer, who is the publisher and owner of Subterranean Press, contacted me about doing a special limited edition. I discovered Subterranean Press when they published John Scalzi's Questions for a Soldier, and I fell in love with th...

I hate furshlugginer Clowns!
Thanks Wil for scaring me.

My plan to be Doctor Horrible for Halloween was disrupted when I couldn't find the appropriate lab coat and goggles anywhere. Luckily, I had a much more disturbing Plan B.

As I mentioned in the Wil repeats thread I watched the episode last night and enjoyed it very much. I forgot you were Wil, and just hated your character to the very fiber of my being.
Thanks Wil.

Turns out Criminal Minds was on in HD here in Canada tonight. I won't say anything other than I really enjoyed your performance Wil
and I appreciate your talent.
Thank you!
