He is wearing a bow-tie. A white one. He's just also wearing a white t-shirt with a Rebel Insignia on it.
Wil buys a new game. It's super effective!
A pair of twenty-something Bros, dressed and posed in a manner that was such a hilarious cliche, if I described them exactly as I saw them, my editor would have said, "no, that's too cliche," stood near the front of the store, communicating in some kind of Broglish that leaned heavily on the wor...
Admit it, Wil. You were drawn by the split infinitive.

This is in the Electric office here in Los Angeles. I took this picture when I joined John Rogers and Beth Riesgraf there last year for our live chat after The Ho Ho Ho Job aired.
One good point to remember (Who said this? Can't remember) :
Consider strongly not ear-marking your donation for a particular cause. If you trust your charity, leave the use of the money up to them.
In all likelihood, your money will go to China right now regardless.
The gist of the article I read indicated a generous increase in donations exceeding the need can actually leave a charity with funds they cannot easily re-allocate freely later.
Sounded plausible to me, and I trusted my charity, so just select "most needed".
Direct Relief for Japan
One of my favorite webcomics is Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Zach Weiner cracks me up every day, and a lot of his jokes are just science-y and geeky enough to make me feel smart when I laugh at them. In today's post, he writes: Hey geeks. No doubt you've heard a lot about the Japanese tsu...
Spoilers (ish) - but I tried to remain safe and really vague.
Loved it! It needs more. You could build a whole book!
Psychologically; what's it like being "her"? What does doing what she does do to her? Is she a renegade or accepted?
"Him"... his motivations. What happened before? What happened after?
And then there is the whole conflict in general...
Wil, how does your creative commons license feel about a "Ficlets-style" before or after extension to the story?
HUNTER is in the Kindle Store for 99 cents
Project Kindle Store Get Books In has begun: I started with Hunter because it was already in .mobi format, and it's my most recent thing (it's still in pay-what-you-want-even-nothing format, incidentally.) Assuming the world doesn't implode around me, I'll get Sunken Treasure in the Kindle stor...
Hey, Wil. A little off topic here:
You might want to catch the Adam Carolla Podcast of August 11th. It features Jerry O'Connell, and you're mentioned a few times.
...not exactly flatteringly, but all in fun.
(iTunes or adamcarolla dot com)
announcing THE AWESOME HOUR!!1
The schedule for PAX 09 has been posted, and I am on it. BEHOLD: Wil Wheaton first came to PAX in 2007, when he gave the keynote address that your parents won't stop making you listen to in the car. In 2008, he returned for a panel that asked and answered the burning question, "Can Wil Wheaton r...
You KNOW that though Rudy didn't exist yesterday, he's going to have his own popular line of T-Shirts by tomorrow (that's a hint, Wil).
a message for you rudy (the undead hound)
Episode sixseven of the D&D podcast is online, and it's my favorite one, so far. It starts with a scream. It continues with a battle standard being planted (augmented with another scream). And it ends with archers perforating Binwin… and Jim Darkmagic struggling to regain consciousness. In this...
You know these are good when the podcast ends and you yell "ARGH! No-no-no..."
The last time I remember having that sort of a reaction was when they used to cut "The Bugs Bunny, Road-Runner Hour" short so they could bring us the latest breaking news in Curling.
roll d20 and save versus retcon
The latest episode of the D&D Penny Arcade/PvP/Me podcast went up yesterday. I listened to it while I was driving to and from this awesome job I was explicitly prohibited from describing in detail, and I loved it. This party is on fire! Literally… and as if that weren't bad enough, Binwin is dr...
I echo the sentiment above. If you pulled these sessions together as the basis of a full on fantasy novel or novella, I'd buy it.
I also wish you'd recorded this for Podcasting, but I can certainly see the logic in not doing that with your kids and their friends.
and so the campaign begins... (Part IV)
Last weekend, I started a 4E campaign for my son Nolan and his friends. The plan is to take them through the entire Keep on the Shadowfell module, and then probably into Thunderspire Labyrinth, with possible detours into various level-appropriate Delves, or something from Monte Cook's awesome ne...
