The Force Will Be With Him...
My nephew will be joining Team Humans sometime in July, so today we're having a baby shower for my little sister (who, at 33, isn't little, bit if you're a big brother or sister, you know what I mean.) My brother in law is awesome, even though he's Dallas Cowboys SuperFan Number One Top Guy Fore...

So I broke down and made a Facebook thing...
I’ve resisted using Facebook for years, mostly because I have a huge problem with the privacy policies. I’m really happy using a combination of Twitter, Tumblr, and Google Plus to do all my social media public life stuff, and I don’t really want to add something else. But I’ve talked with frie...
I can't wait to read this!

FINALLY, I can talk about this, and because a picture is worth a thousand words... Felicia Day and I wrote a Fawkes story for The Guild comic together. There are two covers, the one above is by Paul Duffield, and this one is by Emma Rios: Jamie McKelvie is drawing the book, which comes out...
That was fun to watch..I love seeing the inside of other peoples' houses...:) You need to put some color on the walls of that office, ya know :)

Watch about a stupid live tour of my messy office, and hear me tell you a story.
I made a stupid cellphone video that was actually a live stream tour on my Ustream channel of my messy office. Then I read a short story. Yaaaaay! The stream was broken once when Paul called me (way to steal focus, Paul!), so there are two videos: If you watched it (live or recorded, pleas...
Those were frickin' hilarious! I did love that touch of a southern accent that the preacher dude had. Those fundies are nutbags!

Just in time for Halloween: the animated Dark Dungeons
If you're of a certain age, you may remember the infamous Jack Chick tract Dark Dungeons. For those of you who don't, here's the tl;dr from the Escapist: Dark Dungeons is possibly the most widely distributed piece of anti-game propaganda in the history of gaming. It was first produced by Chick ...
Well, everyone beat me to the punch on adding chilies or hot sauce to your soup... I'd say then, bake something delicious and chocolatey once you feel better :D I myself would go for something peanutbuttery and chocolatey, but that's just me :)

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, ...
Thanks Kathryn, I'll take a look!

Every time I come across something John Green has said, I get excited, inspired, and wish I'd said it myself. (via Visions I Had Buried Underground)

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intu...
Wil,
I know this is totally off topic, but have you seen The Captains by William Shatner yet? And the Parrish character is totally great on Eureka :)

io9 really liked Glimpse! Go Team Eureka!
Alisdair Wilkins at io9 really liked this week's episode of Eureka: "Glimpse" is my favorite episode of the still young season 4.5 - it had a great central threat, it did some nice, light work on the various relationships, it had some good jokes, and it gave plenty to do for the two main guest ...
That was a great story, and I've read it a few times, but it never gets old. I've been following your blog for so many years I've lost count. I love it when something new is posted, because it either moves my soul, or teaches me something new, or just makes me laugh! Thanks Wil!

Because it's become a yearly tradition, here's a story about fireworks
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...

This came into my mind recently: When viewed from the sky, the sprawling neighborhoods that make Los Angeles are a series of small grids, linked by freeways and divided by boulevards into larger grids. When you fly into Los Angeles at night, it's like looking at a circuit board, traffic flowing...

"What are you making?" Anne asked. I looked up from the cutting board, and put the knife down so I wouldn't somehow cut my hand off when I wasn't looking (yes, I am that clumsy). "Black bean soup," I said. "Is it from a recipe, or are you winging it?" "I've made so many different recipes from so...

It all depends on what you like to eat in the 1st place, and then keeping the staples on hand to make what you want, when you want :)

This is a very, very good life, and I'm grateful for it.
