How to Nerd it out at Macy's!
Step One: Hug a bunch of Smurfs and Squeeee out loud!
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...
Most Definitely! Just say When and we should already know where.
anyone interested in a short fiction collection?
I have a question for everyone who reads my blog: if I put some short stories I'd written together into a little collection and sold it at Lulu, would you be interested? I ask this because I collected a few short stories into a limited edition chapbook for last year's PAX Prime, and it's been si...
I have that photo as a postcard!
for those of you wondering what time it is...
(Thanks to my friend C., who made this when I needed a bit of cheering up.)
Hi Wil, Let's give it a shot. Who knows, maybe the Dalek gods will smile upon me.

on the fourth day of geekmas, uncle willie gave to me . . .
. . . a chance to win an autographed Happiest Days of Our Lives at Geekdad: This 4th Day of Geekmas is extra special, as it boasts a prize from a member of the GeekDad extended family. Oh yes, kids, it's a present from your Uncle Willie! Actor, writer, father, uber-nerd, and GeekDad reader Wil ...
This looks like you about to tell us a rauchy christmas story about Santa and some hooker or something like that. I like picture. Great job.
egad, a base tone denotes a bad age
WWdN reader Katie D. was inspired by yesterday's audiobook post, and sent me this incredibly awesome piece of art: Several readers sent me this story from the Mail Tribune about some of Stand By Me's locations. If you are up in Southern Oregon, and you want to see some of the train tracks and ...
I am currently reading Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris and Mike's Election Guide 2008 by Michael Moore, while watching The Trial of the Time Lord episodes. Go figure! They are awesome! Totally enjoying them my dear Chesterton! I have to many books on my pile also with so little time. Will it ever end? I hope not!!
Q: What book are you currently reading? Is it good so far?
I don't do memes, because once I start, I doubt I'd be able to stop. That wouldn't end well for anyone, especially my cat who is bacon-averse. This morning, though, while I was Propelling, I stopped at SF Signal and saw Quick Meme: What are You Reading? Q: What book are you currently reading? I...
Sheri,
If you haven't already, You have to read "Son of the Witch", which is the sequel to "Wicked". I loved both of these. They were just like Harry Potter, I could not put them down.
Books - The Other Boleyn Girl & Wicked
I grew up in a family where the women catered endlessly to the men. Not out of respect, mind you, nor even affection. No, their wooing and appeasement of the various husbands, fathers, uncles, and brothers in their orbit was a much more political endeavor. Like courtiers in the service of a chil...
I love this! More! More! You should do this more often. FYI!
Radio Free Burrito Episode 11
Holy crap! Look out the window for restless horsemen . . . it's a new episode of Radio Free Burrito, less than a week after the last one! Show Notes I think we should just go ahead and give this podcast the [Explicit] label, if it doesn't have it already. Consider yourself warned. The logo ...
Ok, I am no designer but please could someone do something with "Don't feed the troll". This could be a cool shirt. Well, at least I think so.
the loneliest number
I have a sticker on my car that says, "There is no place like 127.0.0.1" I get to explain it to a lot of people, and I'm usually rewarded with a blank look, followed by a pitying look, followed by parents holding on tightly to their children as they move away slowly at first, then quickly, neve...
That was an awesome audio. I gave up an hour of TV just to listen. That's impressive.
audio from my performance at phoenix comicon
My performance on Saturday night in Phoenix went very, very well. I performed to a fantastic audience who filled up the room and made me feel cooler than I actually am. I performed Blue Light Special, from Happiest Days of Our Lives, and I read my review of Justice from TV Squad. I didn't have t...
Mostly Definitely! You have to have some smart ass comment on at least one. That would be the one I would buy. I love the Science one from the other site especially since I work in a lab.
Is anyone interested in WWdN merchandise?
Before I put in the time and effort to make some new WWdN merchandise for the WWdN CafePress store, I'm looking for a show of hands: is anyone interested in some WWdN gear, like T-shirts and stuff? I don't have the time or desire to run a store myself, or take the risk of buying a lot of stock a...
Hmmmm, Chesterton? What is this singing and signing nonsense? Precisely!
songs in the key of hardbacks
In 24 hours, the signed, numbered, limited edition hardbacks of The Happiest Days of Our Lives will finally go on sale, and I've been signing and numbering books so we can process and ship orders as quickly and efficiently as possible. There are only 300 in this limited edition, (which sounds li...
