That was so great! Sincerity makes everything awesome.

it's a festivus miracle
If you can't watch the embedded clip, you can see it here. You can see the whole thing on the Nerdist Holiday special, Christmas Eve on BBC America.
10 Years, man! I guess that means it's been about 9 for me. I caught up by reading a full year's worth of your posts while working at a temp job right out of school and have been reading ever since. Congratulations & Happy Blog-Day!

So, while I'm putting together the last few things I need to take to PAX, I realized I forgot to mention something: ten years ago yesterday, I started my blog at WWdN*. Ten years ago today, Metafilter declared that it was "lame,"** and most of the Internet was really shitty to me about the whole...
Well, I hadn't planned on commenting, but jeez, if Wil is going to be all grateful, I'll jump on board. I think I might have read this the first time it was reposted- although it is hard to say. It was definitely before the "in exile" years- back when I was a wide-eyed college kid. I'll add a notification to my calendar for next year so I'm not late to the party. Happy 4th!

I've written hundreds of thousands of words over the years, but this remains one of my all-time favorites, so I like to revisit it every year. It was originally written and published on July 5, 2002, which usually feels like years and days ago all at once, but this year actually feels like a lif...
Hi Wil. I've been reading your blog for about 8 years. It's the only one I read with any consistency. Your writing is a part of my daily life. I think that's pretty cool, no?

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 was reading my favorite Chicago newspaper spin-off (the Red Eye) and low and behold, there was Wil Wheaton! Pretty cool!

"Hi, I'm Wil, and I'll be playing the part of the Orange X."
Trying to think about something else for a moment ... When we shoot a TV show or a movie, we often have to cheat our looks closer or farther away from the camera during our closeups. Most of the time, the place we're supposed to look is marked with a piece of tape, like an orange X, for exampl...
Completely unrelated- but an FYI- you were on TV in Chicago at 6:15 p.m. Part of some Star Trek/real science thing on the History channel.
How cool is that. The History channel!

magic hour
The sky was on fire when I ran inside to get the camera. By the time I got back out to take some pictures, it had cooled to this beautiful pink. I love the way the palm tree is silhouetted against the sky. What you can't see, but I can hopefully describe now, is how the entire sky cast a sof...

The first time I heard Pink Floyd, I actually thought it was Rick Dees. My mom was driving me to work on a movie of the week, or a commercial, or some other acting job, and I was excited -- as always -- to stop at McDonald's for ultra-processed breakfast "food" while all my friends were in schoo...

Remember that one time in Encounter At Farpoint when Counselor Troi wailed out, "Pain! Pain!" Remember when Mr. Spock was all, "Pain! Pain!" which was totally not Vulcan-like? Remember when [Lost spoiler redacted]? Remember that time your company had a Christmas party, and instead of a band, the...
