Asterisks.... no, I can't go for that.. no, no can do...
Seriously saw them at the end and was like wtf, I missed them? I must be... Out of Touch.
yes, wtf, not what the fuck, wtf, ok maybe what the fuck, oh, and thanks for fixing your RSS feed, they used to all mark unread every new post, yet not this time. Is my time up?(S)He gooooooonnnnneeee......
tamed by the purr of a jaguar
Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. I had no idea so many new readers were visiting my blog; I'd just assumed that the Internet had gotten bored with me, moved on to whatever the new hotness is, and I was writing for the few, the proud, the geeky who had been here forever. Knowi...
Wil, you will soon be at the head of the picture.
Almost done... your lottery ticket will soon enough be here.
It's always great to have a good family and hold true to your values!
to boldly go where no clown sweater has gone before
Greetings from Vancouver, where the local hockey club is still in the playoffs, and the sky above our heads is the color of television, tuned to a dead channel (in 1980). I am having a wonderful time on Eureka, keeping notes in my notebook so that I can write about the experience of making these...
Wil, you are playing the $10 scratch-off, in which I'm glad you're winning.
I'm working on your mega million jackpot. Trust me, it's coming... :-)
it's like winning the actor lottery
When we're on location for Eureka, Felicia Day is like my best friend and my younger sister, all at once. We give each other shit all day long, we hang out when we're not working, and we lean on each other when we have those days all artists have that make us question why we thought we could do ...
Sealed. Wil your limo awaits!
Run Vern! RUN! GODDAMMIT RUN!

Happy New Year!
Oh, your picture is messed up by the way... *snicker*
Happy New Year. I'm on a boat.
I'm going to be on JoCo Cruise Crazy until January 8. I thought it was kind of important to stay connected, keep Twittering and blogging and Internetting while I was on a boat, but after much deliberation, decided that I will not be purchasing Holland America's Yes, We Use The Whole Fist int...
Wil says, Don't be a motherfucking dick.
Wesley Crusher's Sweet-Ass Motherfucking Bouffant
When I was a teenager pretending to fly a spaceship, I got to do a lot of really cool things with a lot of really cool people. The price of admission to this wonderful world, though, was the most annoying hairdo I've ever experienced in my life. I called it Wesley's Helmet Hair, because it did n...
Woke up this morning.... got myself a gun... preferably a G21..
In which societal progress is now measured in Hestons
Presented without comment: *snort*
You've earned it Wil.
The pinnacle isn't even here yet!
You may ask yourself, "well, how did I get here?"
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...
Thanks for the explanation. I wouldn't know, maybe they do it on Blue's Clue's like sign language? Heck, I don't even know what ASL is. You can see how far down the hole I am.
Would you kindly enjoy this memory from PAX East?
I've been watching a lot of Doctor Who lately. I just started watching Daleks in Manhattan, and the 1930s recording of Putting on the Ritz they play near the top of the show reminded me of something cool that happened at PAX East that I meant to write about, but never did. The con was over, and ...
I think you should clarify your position on the usage of the Iron Guard Salute, Mr. Wheaton.
I guess it's ok as long as your not saying.. "Heil Hitler"?
Sure its a tradegy that Hitler took the Roman salute and dragged it through the toilet, but what does it mean to you?

Wil, don't stop climbing. You have not reached the pinnacle yet.
I wonder if you like Sinatra...
excerpted from Just A Geek: a sort of homecoming
As I said in my last post, I'm really excited for all of the events on my schedule at the Phoenix Comicon this weekend, especially the TNG panel, because I get to share the stage with Jonathan and LeVar. Even though I talk to LeVar fairly often, we've never spoken together at a con. Though I've ...
I remember the excitement of sitting in the library in second grade when this tragedy happen, and then all of a sudden a quiet fell over everyone and we did not really know what had gone on, but you could tell something was wrong. Thanks for remembering this event, and do not forget the Columbia either.
If we spent as much on science as we do on the military, I think we would have colonized Mars already.
Note: During Atlantis' takeoff... has anyone seen a roll like that as soon as it took off?
some of us are looking at the stars
On January 28, 1986, I was home from school with the flu. I remember that, no matter what I did, I couldn't get warm, so I was sitting in a hot bath when my mom knocked on the bathroom door. "There was an accident with the space shuttle," she said, in the same voice she used when she told me th...
Insurance doesn't cover those things, my A/C leaked cost me about a grand to fix part and floor.
Nintendo Wii... the geeks fitness center, get with it.
It turns out I had a fairly geeky weekend
In an effort to force myself out of this non-creative, unmotivated funk I've been in post-Eureka, I now commence a braindump from this weekend: I pressed the plunger down on my coffee press and tried to clear the sleep from my eyes while Anne put the orange juice back into the fridge. The mornin...
After 16 years on the Internet, I finally figure out RSS feeds.
Wil, congrats on your role, it will prepare you for your major starring role in my new screenplay, heh.
Eureka!
I'm heading up to Vancouver later this week to shoot an episode of Eureka! The SyFy (I know they're my new employers, but it still pains me to write that) Channel put out the following press release this morning: Actor, author and blogger Wil Wheaton of the popular television series Star Trek: ...
I guess - 45 minutes.
greetings from the future (and 38000 feet), with a quick story from PAX
I'm posting this from an airplane that is currently 37966 feet above Port Stanley, Ontario. It's -78 Fahrenheit about 7 feet from where I'm sitting. And I am currently on the internet, while my position is updated on Google Maps in front of me in almost real time. There's just enough turbulence ...
King of Geeks, you are a true star!
Can't wait for the next Star Trek: TNG Motion Picture!
From the Vault: Still Cool
This is excerpted from something that was written eight years ago, almost to the day. In addition to being a story that still makes me smile, it provides context and back story for Friday's post that newer readers may not have. Even though I'm a much stronger and more confident writer now than I...
We know that is really you singing Wil.
everything's drawn and super 80s
Anne and I went to the grocery store this afternoon. When it was time to get the orange juice, there was only one left, and it was way in the back of the cooler. I reached in really far to get it, and as I did, Anne began to sing the chorus from Take On Me. If you follow me on Twitter, you alrea...
