"Star Trek's Wesley Crusher blasts Google+ landgrab
Wil Wheaton asks blogosphere to Stand By Him on Choc Factory outrage"
hehehe
Hope you & yours are well...
Google is making a huge and annoying mistake.
I like Google Plus. Some of the smartest people I've ever read are on Google Plus, and the Hangout is amazing. But Google is doing everything it can to force Google Plus on everyone, and it's pissing me off. Yesterday, I tried to like a video on YouTube. I wasn't signed in to my Google Plus acco...
This may sound weird but here's what I do...
about a half glass of very warm water, start with a small amount of salt and add to get it tasting a bit salty... Get a Straw, hold one nostril closed and (Excuse the next word) Snort it up the other nostril with the straw and keep sucking it up as far as you can while holding you head back... Then repeat on the other nostril and hold you head back, do this about 3 times and keep holding your head back for a while... The salt loosens the mucus and make sure you have a lot of tissues or toilet paper or what ever so you can blow your nose and usually I blow tons of crap out in about 10-15 minutes after I do this... I do this 3 times and then maybe later in the evening again depending on how stuffed up I am...
For me it's cheaper than buying crap at the drug store... hehe
Oh yeah Hi Wil, Long time no talk...
Recipe time: Wil's Sinusitis Can Suck It Vegetable Soup
I managed to go eighteen whole months without getting sick, but sometime in the last week or so, something worked its way into my sinuses, and it's been kicking my ass for the last 48 hours. For most of the last week, I've been waking up in the morning with an intensely sore throat and painful, ...
Great to hear!!!!!!!!
I like stopping by and seeing all the old stuff I totally forgot about over the years....
eBay Responds To Retro Thing Reader Complaints
Just received this from eBay because of your complaints about our removal from the eBay Partner Network: After a subsequent investigation of your account, we were able to determine that the source of your abnormal traffic was originating from previously untracked bot traffic. We believe that in...
Geeze Wil!!!!! When did you get such a Manly Voice???... I guess I been watching to many TNG reruns or something.... hahahaha
Just kidding, Rock on!!!

Fargo is, after all, the boss of us ...
This post contains spoilers. You have been warned. If I've pushed the Big Red Button correctly, this should post automatically right after my episode of Eureka, All the Rage, has concluded in the Eastern time zone. I'm at Comic-Con right now, and I've just seen this episode in its entirety for t...
I set up a Dual Boot with WinXP & Ubuntu 8.10 about a year ago and the only time I go back to Windows is to get some Updates and run my Flight Simulator...
Once I get the Linux Sim working I doubt I'll go back to Windows for a few years just to remember how bad it was... hahaha
Wil Wheaton Prime uses Linux to bring you Evil Wil Wheaton sitting in Sheldon's spot.
This picture was taken right after we finished shooting The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary last year. I'm not going to lie to you, Marge: it's one of my prized possessions. It's taken me this long to share it, because shortly after I upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, all of my Macs and my HP sc...
Captain Crusher...
I like it, you got that young Captain Kirk look with that hairdo...
hehe
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.)
Merry Christmas to you & family Wil...
Christmas Wishes from Steve Martin, and Me, Wil Wheaton
Steve Martin has a Christmas wish to share with you: (If you can't see Hulu videos, or just want the audio, YouTube has you covered. It's a Christmas miracle!) And here's my holiday wish, which isn't nearly as funny, but is at least (if not more) sincere: Whatever you choose to celebrate t...
Very Cool Wil!!!!!
Keep it up and keep on Rockin'!!!!!
Hey look! It's the promo for my episode of The Big Bang Theory!
Holy. Carp. Wil's Mind = BLOWN. This is the coolest thing I've seen all day. I can't believe that CBS chose to make the promo for next week's episode all about me! It's a huge honor, because it means someone at CBS thinks I'm worth audience. I've also heard from two friends who have seen sc...
Oh well Wil...
Your still a Geek... hehehe
i never did national network tv interviews later on in life like the ones i did when i was twelve
When we filmed Stand By Me, none of us knew it was going to be the huge success that it became. None of us expected it to be part of that 50s revival that was so much fun in the mid-80s, and none of us knew that it would essentially launch all of our acting careers. But I think that, if you aske...
Not bad Wil... :) hehe
I'm thinking of putting the old Band back together, you wanna sing for us???....
Cheers,
Keith
it doesn't make a difference if we look cool or not...
After playing Rock Band 2 for 2 straight hours and struggling though some songs I've never played before, I was worried that when the videos started making their way online, I'd look like an asshole who didn't know how to play fake instruments, and that everyone would laugh at me. But when I...
Well the only two I can say I've played are: Windows Solitaire and of course ZORK!!!
I had an old CPM system with 8-inch floppy drives and one of the main frame computer guys at work had the game and let me have it to play... Needless to say I spent months playing and trying to find all the tokens in the game... I finally went and bought the clue book cause there was one I never found...
There's a lot to be said for text based games, they make you use your imagination a lot more than with the modern day Video Games...
ZORK was indeed a fun game to play way back then...
some generation x nostalgia for a monday morning
I'm four days behind on work, so before I have time to share how awesome Sacramento was, I'll have to get caught up. Until then, I have a link that's going to make Gen Xers go nuts: The Top 10 Most Influential Educational Video Games from the 1980s. People who grew up playing video games are in...

I could really use a spot on a "Ferengi freighter" right now as I sure "warf" and his buddies are no where near this place to take on deserters...
This planet is just not the place for a human being to be these days and I want off!!!...
EPIC FAIL

"Falling Down" was about all I could bear to listen too since it seemed the quality of the rest was very "Sub Par" as far as my ears were able to tell.
As far as her singing talents, it's not bad for a first timer but it is nothing I would ever go out and buy, not even online.
anywhere she lays her head
I'm going to make a not-so-shocking confession: I love Scarlett Johansson. I realize that it's a tremendously controversial position to stake out, especially when you've read my blog for all of one post and have firmly affixed yourself to the idea that I hate women, but there it is. I admire th...

You need to watch more "Bug Movies" !!!!!!!!!!!

strength and courage
Every year, I get a few praying mantis egg cases, attach them to plants around the yard, and hope for the best. Other than about a dozen babies two years ago, though, I've never seen the anticipated explosion of little mantid babies running around, preparing for a summer of devouring nasty bugs ...

Radio Free Burrito Episode X
Holy crap! It's a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! This is another music episode, focusing on three styles I really like: Rockabilly, Psychobilly, and Surf. I found a ton of great artists on the podsafe music network, and I hope you enjoy the musical stylings they provide. Show notes: The l...

Right on Wil!

I voted today
I cast my vote for Barack Obama in California's primary this morning. Here's a major reason why I did: “When I am this party's nominee, my opponent will not be able to say that I voted for the war in Iraq; or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran; or that I supported Bush-Chen...

Going Boldly . . .
I just added some pictures to my flickr stream from Star Trek the Tour. My battery died real fast (stupid me for not bringing an extra) so there aren't many. However, I'm really happy with the ones I got. This is my favorite, which was taken by my awesome wife: "When I was a teenager, I got t...

Sounds like a Movie I may pass on Wil, since some of the Camera work in Saving Private Ryan and a few other SciFi wanna-bees with the same gave me a instant headache...
Oh well...
hehehe
Cloverfield
I saw Cloverfield yesterday afternoon, early enough so I could avoid a theater filled with douchebags. I understand that this was a good thing, because people I know who saw it at night with the aforementioned douchebags were so annoyed by them, and so pulled out of the movie by them, it serious...
