I think WW needs the "Nolan Sorrento" part in RPO, that is, if he's not worried about being typecast as the smarmy bad guy. [Sux0rs!]
Back on topic - karma sent your way.

in which i have an audition for a feature this afternoon
I composed a post in Firefox all about how I have this awesome audition this afternoon. Then, when I tried to publish it, Firefox hung for ten minutes before it crashed. I've been spoiled by stability, so I didn't do the ctl-c that was so pretty much automatic a few years ago... so here's the tl...
Purchased "Agent..." this morning and have been surprised at how little work I've gotten done today.
Well done - thanks to you and Scalzi!

"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...
"...I've recently realized that the father away I get from the times those things transport me, the more important they both become."
Please don't edit the Freudian typo - or if it was intentional, it was genius.
I stayed home from my "turning 40 and going to Vegas" weekend with the guys this week because my kids wanted me home over Easter. Father away indeed.
P.S. Received super-snazzy HDOOL hardback recently - thank you.

the fountain of youth
I spend a lot of time remembering and writing about the video games I played while growing up, mostly because it's the closest I can come to actually playing them, until the magical day arrives when I have an entire room in my house dedicated to housing a classic arcade and console collection. I...
More please.

From the Vault: a convenient literary metaphor
This was originally written in 2003, after I'd published Dancing Barefoot , and was still working on Just A Geek. At the time, I wasn't sure if I was a writer, an actor, or some combination of the two, though I was trying very hard to convince myself (and the Voice of Self Doubt) that I was just...
Ordered, looking forward to arrival - but was hoping there would be a don't-have-to-wait e-book option as well...
Still - congratulations on the birth of your latest!

Memories of the Futurecast: Episode Six
Holy crap! It's time for Memories of the Futurecast. Memories of the Future, Volume One, covers the first 13 episodes of TNG, so each week, I'm choosing something from one episode, and performing an excerpt for you. It will mostly be from the synopses, which is where I think the real humor of...
I love you man - and am happy to support you, but now I have to buy most of the same thing again to get the parts I don't have.
I'm thrilled for your opportunity, but I kinda wish it was an opportunity on your next book - not your last book.
Perhaps you could make a PDF of the additional material available to the 300...?
Let me state again I'm very happy for you - but a little sad for me.

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'm about to lose some geek cred - but is Wesley Crusher in any of the TITAN novels that have come out? I haven't stayed up to date with the latest from Captain Riker and his merry band.

announcement two of four (collect them all!)
Last week, I mentioned one of those "so cool I can't talk about it" projects. Today, I can go ahead and reveal what it was: I composed that post about an hour before I put on pointy sideburns and a space suit, brought Lieutenant Commander Wesley Crusher back to life as the Assistant Chief Engin...
Thanks for everyone else sharing their ideas - I'm going to have to check out some of these myself - but I couldn't help but toss out one more:
The Past Through Tomorrow
by Robert A. Heinlein
This collection is short stories and novellas of most of the "Future History", including the amazing short "Life Line" which launched RAH on his career back in 1939. I wish they would have filmed that for the recent TV show instead of the nightmare they chose instead. Enjoy!

MWM seeks SF Anthology for Casual Reading
I love SF novels, and count stories like The Forever War and The Ghost Brigades among my all-time favorites, but in the last year, I've grown very fond of the SF short story. Since an SF short story is what I hope to scrape out of my brains as my next writing project, I've been reading as many s...
Wow - I completely forgot until just now and am thrilled that apparently the 300 hasn't run out yet.
Go ahead - send me #300...

Liveblogging the hardbacks, and an open mic
This is a big day for me, and a moment of truth: was I foolish to think that at least 300 people would want signed, numbered, limited edition hardbacks of The Happiest Days of Our Lives? I'm about to find out. I feel the same way I do before a big poker tournament or extremely important audition...
What if they just sell the "extras" DVD for $20-$30?
I'm perfectly happy with my S1-S7 DVD box sets, and can't/won't buy the new set just because.
But if they made the extra disc available on its own - I might be tempted. Web only purchase?

A couple of weeks ago I took my boy to see the summer robot movie. We didn't make the 330pm showing, but the 400pm showing was only 15 minutes away so we bought our tickets and sat in a very small room with a moderately small screen.
The lights dimmed at 405pm, and we were then treated to 15 minutes of commercials (which I abhor) and 15 minutes of previews (which I didn't really mind).
When the studio logo appeared at the beginning of the FEATURE PRESENTATION, I looked at my watch to see what time it was - and it was 435pm!
I shoulda just gone into the earlier showing and skipped the commercials.
I think 35 minutes after 'announced' showtime is a wee bit much.
I'm not in a huge hurry to see most releases before they come out on DVD these days either. Wonder why?

yet another reason why going to the movies sucks
A few years ago, we bought a spiffy home theater system, complete with the surround sound and the HDTV and the comfy chairs. I'm sure it's a coincidence that this matches up almost exactly with when we stopped going out to the movies except for extremely special events. I know this is different ...
Is there any way we could get a copy of the text of your presentation, or better yet an audio / video recording, if one was made? [not sure what the rights are there - don't mean to infinge...] :-)
Thanks!

The Science Fiction Hall of Fame induction was just fantastic, and I couldn't have asked for it to have been any cooler that it was. My speech hit all the right notes, and I got great feedback from the people who had come to the ceremony, including Rod Roddenberry, who told me that he knew his f...
This was the year that I had hoped to make it down to the WSOP. It didn't work out, but you're certainly adding to my enjoyment of missing it.
Keep up the great work.

the weight is a gift
I did everything I could to get into bed early last night, even remaining disciplined enough to walk away from what was probably the best final table in the history of the WSOP -- minutes before Doyle Brunson was eliminated, no less -- in time to be in bed by my self-imposed bedtime of midnight....

It turns out that I didn't take as many pictures at the PCA as I thought I did. It's kind of a drag, because Anne and I specifically agreed that, even though it's a bit of a hassle to carry the camera everywhere, we always appreciate lots of pictures once we get home. Oh well. It's just more mot...
