The Holodeck is for... watching beautiful women "play harps" together. A-hem-hem, nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.

in which my wife is nerd-adjacent and comedy ensues
I came across a bunch of posts that I'd marked as drafts, but never published. Most of them are ideas that never turned into actual posts, or things I wrote and decided not to post for some reason I've since forgotten. This one was originally written in November of 2009. I'm not sure why I left ...
Actually, nobody had to do that. The Holodeck was specifically designed to syphon off any... fluids spilled inside. What do you think those starship engines ran on? Or did you actually believe that old "Antimatter" chestnut?

Regarding the 'Fuck You' Money, I'm sure that John Rogers could set you up with the blueprints for a caper, rejected from Leverage for being too easy and foolproof, which will see you swimming in quarters like Scrooge McDuck in no time.

the value of a quarter
Last week, I took my car to one of those car washes at the gas station. When I was waiting to pull in, I saw that for the low low price of one dollar more, I could upgrade my wash options from four useless things to seven useless things. Obviously, I reached into my change box (some of you may k...
Hmmm... I love John Scalzi and especially his books; I love Wil Wheaton and especially his everything; but I hate the stupid, matricopulative DRM that Audible slaps on all their books.
Why must you torment me so, world?

Various things I want you to know
A few things before I forget: 1. Memories of the Future Volume 1 is available for your Kindle. It's also at Kindle.uk, and Kindle.de. It's temporarily out of the iBooks store, but I'll get that fixed in a few days. Hey, if you liked it, would you leave a review? 2. Yes, I'm working on Memories o...
Anne: Who are you talking to?
Wil: Uh... NOT the kitchen - because the kitchen ISN'T silently judging my breakfast decisions (the arrogant bastard!).

each sensation makes a note in my symphony
The alarm went off at 7 this morning. Though I was asleep around 11 last night, the jolt of misery that shot through my body as I reached over to turn it off confirmed -- again -- that I am not a Morning Person. I slowly opened my eyes, and saw that Anne had already gotten out of bed. In her pla...
Isn't ANY Batman story not written by Bob Kane fan fiction, in a way? It's just that some of it gets officially published and some doesn't.

My brain desperately wants to write some stories, so I've been digging through the pile of Ideas That Didn't Quite Make It to see if anything in there inspires me, or is at least worth dusting off and poking with a sharp stick. So far, two stories look promising, though one of them needs a fairl...
Wil: "...refused to shut up until I scribbled down enough about it to ensure I didn't lose it"
Your note said "Remember idea," didn't it?

Cherry Flowers and Bedroom Songs
While I was drifting off to sleep last night, a short story idea seized my mind and refused to shut up until I scribbled down enough about it to ensure I didn't lose it during the journey to sleep and back to waking. I got out of bed, made some barely-legible notes, and fell asleep rather quickl...
Regarding "its" and "it's" I always followed these simple instructions I found on the interwebs:
It's "its" when it's "its own"; it's "it's" when it's "it is".
Commented Feb 11, 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...
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. Düsseldorf is practically in my back yard.
I don't usually visit conventions, but for the chance to see Wil in person, I'll brave the (unwashed) masses of people and attend.
Darn, I just realized that I only ever bought e-books and MP3 audio books from Wil - I have nothing physical to get autographed! Gotta rectify that before the con.

a few programming and personal appearance notes
If everything goes according to plan, I should release Hunter later today. It's 2500 words, about the length of what you'd read in a magazine, I think, and I'm pricing it at 99 cents, for people who want to buy it. I'll eventually put it here or wil wheaton books for free, for those of you who a...
