I never had a blog later on like the one I had when I was 35. Jesus, does anyone?
this post is titled Laika for some reason
When I started my blog almost ten years ago, I made a dedicated effort to write something new every day. I figured that it was good practice for me as a level zero writer, and I also knew that the only way to keep readers engaged was by providing new content all the time. As the years rolled by,...
I still can't quite believe he's gone. Justice League is my favorite animated series, and watching the behind the scenes features on the DVDs, Dwayne comes across as a really nice, really enthusiastic, really thoughtful guy. What you've written here confirms all of that.
Thank you, Wil.
in remembrance of Dwayne McDuffie
Last night, I met my friend Amy Berg (who created Cha0s on Leverage, and brought me into Eureka as Dr. Parrish) down in Hollywood for dinner. Traffic was horrible (surprise) so she'd been waiting almost 20 minutes when I finally walked into the restaurant. While I scanned the crowd to find her,...
Thank you, Wil! Thank you so much for writing this!
librarians are awesome
I was recently invited to participate in an awesome literacy project, and I wanted to share an excerpt from my contribution: I want to take a moment and say thank you to librarians, because it was a librarian who made me fall in love with reading. In third or fourth grade, part of our curriculu...
I've commented about this before, Wil, but I'll say it again: my absolute favorite blog posts of yours are the ones about you and your sons. I'm also a step-father who became a "real" father (like Pinocchio, I guess) and I absolutely understand the pride and love you have for Ryan and Nolan, because I have the same feelings for my daughter. I bet you've had people tell you the same thing they tell me: you're a good man for taking these kids into your heart and making them be a part of your family. Which is weird, because how could you not? How could you not love these kids with all of your heart? How could you not feel grateful that they accepted you and chose you to be their dad?
Keep writing about being a dad. Keep writing about your love for your boys. And keep being the awesome dad you are.
In which I am a proud father
"I have to tell you," Jonathan Coulton's wife said to me on the last night of the cruise, "how wonderful your boys are." "I have two daughters," Peter Sagal's wife told Anne, "and I hope this isn't weird or creepy, but I really hope they meet guys like your sons." "Dude, you know you raised your...
Alternately: "I feel strange, but also good!"
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...
Wil to Anne: "I'll have a blue Christmas without you..."

Facebook can suck it. I deleted my account before Quit Facebook Day in part because of their abhorrent behavior in regards to privacy, but also because it's becoming more and more "AOL 2.0." As I said in my blog (http://www.goblin-cartoons.com/2010/05/12/facing-down-facebook/), I don't want a centralized web experience for people. I don't want the web dumbed down for people, I want people to smart up for the web. We already have the tools that make Facebook unnecessary, we just need to teach more people to use them.
on the internet, nobody knows that you're a dog
I mentioned this on Twitter, but as Twitter has grown and grown (congrats, Biz and Ev!) it's become very "in the moment" and not the best place to put very important things like this: There's a page on Facebook that appears to be mine. The problem with this is that I don't use Facebook, and I do...
