This is arguably one of their best songs to date. (Except for the Captain's Wife's Lament, of course)

George R. R. Martin please write like the Wind!
Paul and Storm debuted this song at W00tstock Founder's Night last year, and somewhere in the SD card of my phone, I have the very first public-ish performance of it, backstage. I loved it then, I love it now, and I hope this video gets all the views and up thumbs, because it is awesome. ...an...
Don't be too sad, folks. I suspect that whatever Wil has going on is going to be well worth it for the rest of us. Good luck, Wil!
And if you want one more opportunity to see Wil in person, check out JoCo Cruise Crazy. Tickets are on sale now!

Good News, Bad News
I've been seeing lots of messages on Twitter and Facebook from people who are really excited to come see me tell stories and perform at the upcoming Denver Comicon. I love it that so many people are excited to see me do my thing... and I feel terrible that I have to cancel my attendance this yea...
"Patron." You're a librarian, aren't you? We <3 librarians!

Someone found my Kindle on the airplane this weekend. I'd really like it back.
I left my Kindle on an airplane this weekend (post-convention exhaustion will do that to you), and someone found it. I know that someone found it, because they've been using my account to buy games and books. Based on the purchases, I'm fairly sure the person who found my Kindle (which is named ...
Sadly, if such a thing were even possible, you'd probably end up in jail for using it, knowing our litigious society.

That's a lot of games.

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. "...
One comment? WTF is wrong with you people? This is WIL WHEATON. ON A NERD BOAT! This is where you all say "Gee, That sounds FUCKING AWESOME! I wish I'd been there!"
At which point I can say "I was, and it *WAS* FUCKING AWESOME!" and the best part was where Wil Weaton signed something I made and he thought it was awesome and it was like a giant boat filled with pure awesome and it couldn't have been better. Really. *whew!*

I've gotten much worse at writing relevant titles since an hour ago. Oh well, circle of life.* Previously, on Battlestar Galactica my blog: Holland America goes to this private island in the Bahamas that is everything you'd expect from a private beach in the Caribbean, if you were expecting a ...
Admittedly I've read most of your books, but not your blog so much, but I think I will leave it up to the others to help provide input. I trust that I will enjoy whatever you do when you're up on stage because, well, that's what happened last cruise (which was the first time I'd ever seen you on stage.)

I have a very important question for everyone attending JoCo Cruise Crazy 2.
Saturday, I'm heading down to America's Wang to get on a boat, because JoCoCruseCrazy 2: Cruise Crazier is setting sail on Sunday. I hope that it lives up to this video that one of the cruisers (who named themselves Sea Monkeys) created: I know, right? Check out the video he made last year, bas...
I saw that, too! I love that game. Both of them!

probably the best idea i've ever had
Last week, I saw this at Reddit. I KNOW RIGHT?! I told the Twitter and the Google Plus and the Tumblr that we all need to print these things out and hang them up everywhere (it's legally allowed for us to do so. cough.) For the past four days, I've gotten lots of image links from people on the T...
I am so totally going to hang a few of these in the elevators at work. ;) Where do I work? Well, I can't say the name, but let's just say it's a large museum and research oriented institution in the washington dc area. :)

Like everyone else here who was conscious that day, I will never forget it either. My school didn't show anything on TV, but I was glued to the television the moment I got home.
On Feb 24, 2011, I will be at Kennedy Space Center to do something that I've dreamed of since I was a kid: see the space shuttle launch in person. STS-133 has been delayed due to mechanical problems and hydrogen leaks and to be perfectly honest, I'm nervous, for the astronauts and for me. But I keep in mind that there are literally thousands of people working together to make each space shuttle launch a success. I'll definitely be holding my breath for the 8 minutes it takes them to get into orbit.

from the vault: some of us are looking at stars
This was originally written in May of last year, just after I watched the space shuttle Atlantis blast off into orbit. On the anniversary of the Challenger disaster, I thought it was worth reprinting: On January 28, 1986, I was home from school with the flu. I remember that, no matter what I di...
