Wil,
So, you have another great looking dog. Please do not complain when this pet grows up and you have to sit on the floor.

We were introduced last week at the Pasadena Humane Society, when Anne and I were there for a tour of the new facility WWdN readers helped raise the funds to build. We were standing in the lobby, talking about how much we love Seamus, when a worker walked in with this puppy. She had the exact ...
Wil,
That is a funny looking picture. It also reminds me why I will never get a dog any bigger than a Maltese.

The Eternal Struggle
So this happened last night. I told the tale in pictures and captions on Twitter, and I'm putting it here for the ages. For science. You monster. Hey, Seamus, you're in my spot. Me: Seamus, move! Seamus: But I'm watching Colbert Report! Me: Seamus won't move. Riley: Well, duh. He's wa...
Wil,
I wish you the best with your comic shop. I also hope it is open for more than three to five years. According to most business sources, that is the time life for most of these types of parties.

in which i have a realization, and i am grateful
In the precious few moments I had today between work-related responsibilities, I stopped into my comic shop, and I saw this: I made this! I've been so busy, and I finished my part of this project so long ago, I wasn't prepared for how proud and excited I was when I saw a book that I had wr...

Looks like your trip was not boring. I hear that is a great part of the world.

My trip to Australia was amazeballs
I am home from Australia, and only mostly dead exhausted. Go me! I'm too tired for a proper post about the entire trip, but I'll offer a few memories and highlights: I did not meet a single unkind person the entire time I was in Australia. I realize that my sample size was quite small, but it wa...

Your help seems to be better than teck support. My computer is now running better.

life imitates art (or: I don't know much about brain scans, but I'll help you fix your computer.)
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 ...
Wil,
It looks like you are having a great time with your family. I wish you a safe and happy trip. Your writing style, to me, is still great.

JCCC2: in which Settlers of Catan is played on a boat
The boat rocked as gently as a giant boat can rock when it's pushing 19 knots. A fresh breeze made small white caps in the sea. The sun -- the Nerd's natural enemy -- was directly above us in a cloudless sky. I sat with Anne on the aft pool deck of the Westerdam, my feet floating in the water. "...

This seems to be a great publishing company. I seem to be just to whimpy to write a book.

Because it's a FAQ: some thoughts on self-publishing
Reader M asked me: I was wondering what your experience with Lulu.com has been to self-publish your books? Did you engage (heh) them for marketing? For editing? Or simply for publishing?? This sort of inquiry is pretty much a FAQ at this point, so I thought I'd share a slightly-edited version ...

I put this on Tumblr earlier today. It deserves to be here, too, I think: Two things jump out at me in this picture: 1. Holy shit those shoes are huge. 2. I don’t look nervous or uncomfortable; I look genuinely happy. That, combined with my haircut, makes me think that this must have been t...
Wil,
It stuns me that with your busy schedule, you have done so much writing on this site. You have done this for many years even during times of writers block. Did you hire someone to do this for you or are you really doing all of this yourself? These days with all of the fake singing on some stages you never really know. Well, no matter what is really going on with this site, it is still fun to enter.

Great to see you had another nice vacation on that great island. The pictures are amazing. I have recently returned from a nice vacation in your home town. Although, you love to bash it, Los Angeles can still be a fun city.

I'm not quite dead! I just took a vacation that looked something like this: Click to embiggen at Imgur, and to see a few other pictures from our trip. It was kind of a big deal for us, because it's the first non-working, non-kid-having vacation Anne and I have taken since we were dating almo...

Anne and I took the train up to Santa Barbara for my birthday, and it was awesome. Because I've complained about Amtrak employees who were dicks in the past (K. Williams on the southbound Surfliner to Comicon, I'm looking in your snotty, sarcastic, condescending direction), it's important to me ...

I really hope this goes well for both of you. I have never been lucky enough to have a child but this looks like it could be a nice project. I hope you two at least have fun.

Ryan is going to be 22 at the end of the month. For those of you who have been here since I wrote the 13 on 31 post, you now know how I feel every single day. The rest of you can get off my lawn before I call your parents. So the other day, he and I were having a beer together, and Ryan said, "W...

The traffic on the 101 was as horrible as ever. For no apparent reason, every lane of the freeway would speed up to 30 or 40, then come to a complete stop just as quickly. It took me 20 minutes to drive 2 3/4 miles. I thought, "I don't know how people do this every day, twice a day. This is soul...

I like the fact that we live in a free comic book world which gives artist of both DC and Marvel the freedom to create their stories. They are only comic book stories and I like them.

It's Wednesday, so here's a post about comic books
When I was a kid, I was a DC Universe guy all the way, with rare forays into the Marvel Universe to read a few X-Men books, and the occasional Silver Surfer 100 page spectacular (remember those? I loved those oversized one shots in the 70s and 80s.) I realized last week, though, that the bulk of...

When I was in Vancouver for Eureka last year, I got to know downtown pretty well. I had a couple of pubs I loved, two grocery stores that took care of all my food needs, and more great restaurants than I could shake a hockey stick at. I also found a comic shop that was just a few blocks from my ...

Writing is the art of staying true to yourself. How can you know if someone else will like your work? That can drive you crazy. Even if it is something that you do not like, run it by some people. Sometimes, they will love the creations you trash.

Warren wrote about having to kill a story: The lesson is simply this: you just have to recognise that, no matter how much weight you put behind it and how much you tart it up,sometimes a story just doesn’t bloody work, and you have to take it behind the stables and shoot it through the head. No...

I am not lucky enough to be a parent but it looks like that it has worked out great for you. You have two great kids. I am also glad that you survived your time off of the net. At times, this seems to be a great thing to do. Nice view from the boat. Always a fun thing to do.
