Excellent post Wil. I've called my senators and have been encouraging others to do the same. I posted a link to your post on my FB page, please don't send Hollywood thugs after me. ;-)

Today the US Senate is considering legislation that would destroy the free and open Internet.
“Why is it that when Republicans and Democrats need to solve the budget and the deficit, there’s deadlock, but when Hollywood lobbyists pay them $94 million dollars to write legislation, people from both sides of the aisle line up to co-sponsor it?” --Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian on CN...
So you're the reason I never got a Swatch!

Check. And. Mate.
On our way home from the grocery store tonight, I said to Anne, "Have you heard of this Tumblr called I'm Remembering?" "No," she said, "what's that?" "It's all these images and things from the eighties and early nineties, and it's pretty awesome." In spite of myself, I added with a rather copio...
Bought a "how we roll" shirt for my manfriend. It should be here today or tomorrow. I told him I was getting him something from the wonderful world of Wheaton. His response... "sigh". I guess I should stop calling him Wil when he needs a shave.

Excellent timing on this post! I'm doing my online christmas shopping today and wanted to look into some new games. Thanks for the demo link.

learn to kill monsters and take treasures in the comfort of your own home
Munchkin, from Steve Jackson Games, is a fairly polarizing game, especially at BGG, where people tend to love it or hate it. I love it, mostly from playing some truly memorable games with my kids over the years. Nolan was to my right. He kicked in a door and didn't find a monster, so he looked...
Oooo think I'll have to pick that one up for my man. BTW loved the post about bowling yesterday. Great shirt!! ;-)

The Lords of Shirt.woot heard our prayers, and have brought my shirt, How We Roll (or, as I like to call it, Critical Mass), back for the holidays!! Real quick history lesson: I designed this shirt, that I really love, for shirt.woot last year. It was pretty damn popular, but was overtaken by ot...
Wil this seriously brought a tear to my eye. I'm so glad you are getting good use of the shirt. BTW dry cleaning is probably best. I hand washed mine and the black runs a lot.

I made that shirt and gave it to Wil at Wootstock in SF. If you're really interested PM me on Facebook.

hey, is there anything good on tv tonight?
Hey, did I mention that I'm on The Big Bang Theory tonight? I didn't? That's weird. I could have sworn that I did. Well, allow me to just put this gentle reminder out there: Evil Wil Wheaton returns in "The 21-Second Excitation" at 8pm on CBS. And now, another hopefully amusing video, to help yo...
"ASS SEX" hehe.
I love it when you write about your family. It's so honest and heartwarming. You and Anne are clearly made for each other (isn't it great to have that perfect other half in your life? There's nothing in the world I would trade for my Kevin.) Anyway keep up the good work, enjoy your time between shows, oh and the only thing that smells better than rain on a hot day is my daughter's hair after a bath. It's like almond cookies, honey and magic.

This is a very, very good life, and I'm grateful for it.
It's quiet outside my office window, like the heat and humidity is sort of absorbing and muffling most of the sounds that usually come through during a typical Saturday morning. All I really hear is birds singing, the occasional drone of a distant train, and the low rumble of thunder out over th...
Made a donation in my daughter's name to "the doggy" (she thinks Seamus is really pretty and she wants to pet him.) Today is her 3rd birthday and I thought this would be another good opportunity to teach her about helping others instead of just focusing on her presents. Thank you for organizing a great fundraiser and providing a great teachable moment for me and my little girl.

Damn it Wil. Now you got me all misty eyed. Seriously though I think what you're doing is great. The Human Society is one of my favorite charities. Keep up the good work.

I thought it was awesome that you brought her. My daughter is only 3 so it will be a while before she can come with us. Did she last the whole show or crash out early?

I spent a little time in the garage today, and was rewarded with a bunch of nifty discoveries, so I thought I'd share pictures of a few of them. All of these images can be clicked to embiggen them at Flickr, where you can learn more about them:
That was hilarious Mr. Laughypants. Hope you feel better soon. My mom swears by neti pots for sinus infections. You may want to pick one up at Walgreen's and give it a try. BTW, I'm the "not a crazy stalker chick" from reddit that's making the shirts. They're looking really good.

While browsing Reddit during my morning coffee, I came across this: I remember how much I liked writing this story for LA Daily, but until GenCon, I'd never read it in public. Both times I've read it, though, it's gone over very well, so I'll probably add it - at least temporarily - to my pe...

I got a call from Enforcer Mojo this morning, advising me that the Expo hall at PAX doesn't open until 10am on Friday, so trying to start a signing at 10 seemed a little silly to me, because people who couldn't get into the giant line for Expo hall early enough could potentialy have a sadface (a...

About two hours ago, I said goodbye to my friends on the set of Eureka, and rode back to my home away from home, here in Vancouver. About an hour ago, I started doing my laundry and packing my suitcase. I think the last time I did coin-op laundry, I was 20. It's strangely familiar, and the uniqu...
