Wil,
A little about the 38-year-old thing... If it hasn't already sunk in yet, you are now older than Jonathan Frakes was when TNG started in '87...

Emerald City Comicon after action report
ECCC has officially joined PAX on the List of Conventions I Don't Ever Want To Miss. It's well-organized, staffed by competent and friendly volunteers, and has what is, in my opinion, the perfect balance of comics and popular geek culture. This year, I had to leave Saturday afternoon to fly home...
I don't think PayPal is "evil", but do they still charge you a base of 30 cents per transaction like they do us "normal" people?
Commented Feb 10, 2011 on HUNTER is here. at WWdN: In Exile
HUNTER is here.
Hunter is a short Sci-Fi story set in a dark and desperate world. It is just about 2500 words, which is about the length of a story you'd read in a magazine. I'm not really sure what the appropriate cost is, so I'm experimenting with the Pay What You Want model that seems to be working really we...
Oh man! You're working with [REDACTED]?! I LOVED him/her in [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] - although I was a little disillusioned with [REDACTED] and didn't think it deserved all the award buzz.

precious and fragile things
I'm sitting in my apartment in Vancouver, finishing my coffee and oatmeal. My iPod is shuffling through a massive 80s alternative playlist I made before I came up here, so I've been accompanied by Elvis Costello, The Smiths, Souxie, Depeche Mode, The Jam, and Bauhaus while I start my day. I'm no...
Also, check out his frame-by-frame comparison between his version and the "real" version. Much fun!

The Empire Strikes Back (1950)
I think this may be the most impressive Star Wars parody/tribute/whatever I've ever seen, and I've seen some truly great ones. This makes me want to do a 13 episode webseries, probably serialized 3 minutes at a time, that's entirely done in the 1950s Sci-Fi style, with locations at Vasquez R...
Oh... And the comic book guy (I'm blanking on his name) did a great presentation. You Seattleites missed out.
P.S.: See what I did there?

making a note here: HUGE W00TSTOCK SUCCESS
Friday afternoon, Anne, Storm, and I walked up the street in Seattle toward a towering red brick building. Next to the kind of ancient metal fire escape that inspires poets to write about life in the city, a sign was painted on the side of the building. It identified the building as a theater, th...
The 4.5 hours was certainly not a problem. (Despite the fact that the seats at the Aladdin were designed for the tiny, tiny people that lived in the area in the 1920's).
No, the only problem was that I had to get home and couldn't stand in line to get a T-shirt afterwards. Any chance they'll be available online?
I'll even sign a sworn affidavit stating I really was at the show and am not just a lurker/poser trying to be cool.

Regaring your insurance policy:
You see, you unfortunately plumped for our 'Neverpay' policy, which, you know, if you never claim is very worthwhile...but you had to claim, and, well, there it is.

It turns out I had a fairly geeky weekend
In an effort to force myself out of this non-creative, unmotivated funk I've been in post-Eureka, I now commence a braindump from this weekend: I pressed the plunger down on my coffee press and tried to clear the sleep from my eyes while Anne put the orange juice back into the fridge. The mornin...
What's better is that on Feb 25, Warner Bros registered (the properly spelled) wilwheatonstinks.com, .net, and .org. But all three are dead pages.
You suppose they got permission from Paramount to use "Wesley Crusher"? :-)

It's Sunday afternoon as I write this. I can't publish this manually, because if I've read my call sheet correctly, I'm currently playing Dr. Isaac Parrish on Eureka. If we're on schedule, I'm working in a scene with Erica, Colin, and Neil. If my experience on the show so far is any indication, ...
Actually, BBT is listed in his entry. However, it's under "as self". IMDB doesn't seem to draw a line between "Wil" and "Evil Wil".

Eureka: all the rage - day zero
Greetings from Vancouver, where I sit high above the city, looking out over a balcony, through a sliding glass door that I dare not open, because single digit temperatures in Celsius are just as cold as their Fahrenheit cousins. If you're joining the broadcast late, I'm here for an episode of Eu...
Nope. Nevermind. My math was off. Unless I screwed up again, the clock was actually started in the afternoon (2:23pm) of July 23rd.
Or, if it's only got a four-digit display, then perhaps the evening of June 1, 2008.
By the way, why am I doing this and not working?

As some of you know, for the last six weeks, I've been working night and day on my PAX Keynote, which I deliver in 176 hours. It's been a long and sometimes agonizing road but after intensely bouncing drafts back and forth with Andrew this week, I have a draft that I can begin polishing. This me...
If I read the fuzzy time at the top, it says "12:37", which means the stopwatch was started around 11:22pm on July 23rd - a few hours after the reading.
I second the vote for "alcohol related".

Don't you all believe this stuff about "Evil Wil"! I just checked IMDB and it says that Wil Wheaton is playing "Himself" on this episode!
Maybe this whole "Don't be a Dick" Wil has just been a disguise?
After all, if you can't believe IMDB, who *can* you believe?

This picture was taken after we'd been working all day on all the scenes that take place in the bowling alley. It turns out that shooting pretend bowling sequences is really complicated, and just a few minutes of final cut takes several hours to film. What you can't see is how Jim and I are tr...
A friend of mine refers to the "lizard brain" as the "dangly bits" - for two reasons. One, it's the most inner portion of the brain and seems to "dangle" below the rest of the brain. Two, it's the part of the brain most responsible for that other "dangly" organ that men have.

You know about the Blue Car Syndrome, right? It says that when you buy a blue car, you suddenly start seeing blue cars everywhere. It doesn't mean that there are actually more blue cars than before, it just means that you're more aware of them. About a month ago, I read something about The Lizar...

When we did w00tstock 1.x last year, we all hoped it would be successful enough to warrant taking the show on the road to some of our favorite cities. Well, w00tstock 1.x was so much fun for us and the audiences who saw it, it didn't just warrant it, it WINGER'd it. Hell, it may even have Damn Y...
