Brilliant, Wil - thank you, Sir, and may I have another?

Short Fiction: 239 Sycamore St.
While walking through my neighborhood yesterday, I wondered what actually went on behind those manicured lawns and drawn curtains. I wondered how much I really knew my neighbors. This is what my brain spat out: Ian missed living in a city that didn’t keep any secrets from him, where everything ...
Hello there from Germany! Wil, thanks so much for this great info, we don't know Night Court here in Germany, so I will definitely go to Amazon and look for some episodes!
A question to you all who mentioned the Iron Guard Salute: is this the salute where you cross your arms over your breast? I'm not a WoW player so I'm not sure about this - but in case I get lucky enough to meet Wil or Brent at a Con, I want to be sure to do it properly :-)
Thanks!

"Mi llamo es Bob."
Yesterday, I saw this video linked at Reddit. It's one of those things that I haven't thought about in years, but the instant I saw it, it unlocked some memories, one of which I left as a comment: I was a huge Night Court nerd when I was a kid, and from time to time I would ask Brent to do ...
Hi from Germany - I agree with the signed mug! My Memories of the Future Mug finally arrived last week and I would totally adore a Wesley Crusher Mug! Go Wil Go!

(Thanks to my friend C., who made this when I needed a bit of cheering up.)
Given that I'm German and that I don't know that many games, I was astonished at how many of them I recognized.
Oh, and I had the additional fun of learning their English names :))
This is absolutely fantastic, thanks for posting this, Wil!

Reader Robin Got Excited and Made 100 cupcakes. I know what you're thinking: "Well, that's a lot of cupcakes, but so what?" Well, doubtful-person-I-just-invented, let me tell you what: each cupcake depicts a different board or video game, and she put them all up on a website where you can ident...
Me again: would it be possible to ship two books and two mugs together in one package to Germany? To two huge fans over here :)

It turns out that all this talk about getting excited and making things, uh, got me excited to make something. I don't remember the precise moment this hit me, but I'm pretty sure it happened during one of those times I felt stuck on a story or something, and decided to get out of my office and ...

It's sentences like this that make me love your books and stories so much.

LA Daily: A Gamer's Arcade Memories
This Week's LA Daily was knocked out of my brain by 8 bits of sound this weekend: My son is home from college, visiting briefly before he goes back for his summer session, so I've been making a concerted effort to cram as much writing as I can into limited working hours each day, so my evenings ...
Sorry for the OT Wil, but I found this at failblog.org and as it is Zombie related I thought you might like it (if you don't know it yet).

from the vault: the autumn moon lights my way
I reached into the vault and pulled this entry out today because a reader recently commented that it was one of her favorites, and what do you know, it's one of mine, too. When I wrote this, Ryan and Nolan were barely 16 and 14, in the middle of what Anne and I called "The Pod Person Phenomenon"...
Great great great!
One of your books ist now on the way to Germany, Wil - I'm looking forward to reading it!!!

As promised, Sunken Treasure is now officially on sale! I have created two editions, a US Edition and a World Edition. They are identical in content, but the World Edition is in a slightly larger format, so it's $2.00 more. The trade off is that you don't have to spend a million dollars on shi...

I recently had one of those "so crazy it just might work" ideas, and I was at a meeting very, very late last night talking about it. When I got home, the entire house was asleep, but my dogs (who must believe that I'm never going to come back every time I walk out the front door) ran laps around...

One of my colleagues at LA Weekly, who clearly doesn't want me to get my column turned in on time today, sent me the best mashup of Van Halen and Asteroids that I've ever seen. Check it out, before some jerk with no sense of humor gets it sent to the land of wind and ghosts. Sammy Hagar, I'm loo...

I still have my Romulan Warbird pin and the communicator pin (don't wear them anymore, I'm almost 48 now) but... still look at them from time to time.

Last week, I did so many interviews for this week's episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, I told Anne, "I feel like I've reallly accomplished a lot, but I don't have anything to show for it." Well, now I do, because the interviews I did are starting to come online, including this one I did ...
Great to see pictures of your dogs, always wondered what they look like. Wanted to ask who is who, but Alicia's comment told me.
Really REALLY cute dogs - and you boys can keep the bomber, I'll take the dogs ;)

not so stealthy
Yesterday, the stealth bomber flew over our house seven or eight times. It totally would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for my dogs, who bark like crazy whenever blimps or other low-flying aircraft go over our house. I guess it was doing a flyover as part of a December 7th memorial.

Oh my God, this is wonderful. You don't know how many Germans here are absolutely happy and relieved. If I could have voted for Obama, I would have, but I could only hope and hoping was what I did.
