Hilarious!
It must be fun having a family you can mess around like that with, and have them actually understand and appreciate it!
Lucky guy :)

In which I am a Trolldad
Ryan's home for the holidays, before he moves far, far away for his new job (hey, check out my son! He graduated college last week, and he starts a great job in two weeks! Go Ryan!!) The first night he was home, I told him that the warm covers for the bed he's sleeping on were in the dryer, so...
Ten years.. holy frak! Nice job :)
I have only been reading your stuff for a year or two, but I'll be following you for at least the next ten! So keep up the writing of the words and stuff and the telling of the jokes and funnies!

3652 days later...
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...
OMG the part where the roof comes down and Parrish just sits there with an iron expression folding cranes while everyone jumps away screaming was so hilarious I almost fell off the couch!
I can't wait to get my hands on that extended version on the DVD :D
Oh, and now I've got the urge to figure out how to and make origami dicks :/ Thanks for that :/

Eureka: Of Mites and Men
In every rehearsal, when Parrish stands up to triumphantly announce that he's completed his 100 cranes, I did it in my best* Homer Simpson voice, like when he tries to fake out Apu with the lottery scratcher: "WOOO HOOO! ONE HUNDRED CRANES, BABY!" This episode was more fun to film than I thought...
Oh wow, this made me laugh! Thanks Wil, I needed that :)

So io9 did this thing called the 10 Suckiest Fake Video Games That People Play In Science Fiction. Spoiler Alert: The Game from, uh, The Game is number one. 1) Suckdisk from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Actually, we don’t remember this game having an actual name on the show, but “suckdisk” f...
Happy Birthday Wil!!!

Spock is not impressed that it's my birthday
During w00tstock last week, I mentioned that I was turning 38 this week. After the show, Anne told me that I was, in fact, turning 39. In the few seconds that it took me to do some math, I lost a year of my life. Apparently, this is the sort of thing that happens when you get to be my age, which...
I've been following your blog for about a year now and I always get excited when you post something new. Even the little 'pointless' stories about your life, like driving somewhere or taking a walk with Anne and the dog always brighten my day.
And the little bits about your 'boss' make me feel better knowing I'm not the only 'staff member' :P
Please keep up the posting of words so we can all enjoy reading the sentences they make :)

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...
You do know we want to hear the score you actually got on the test right? :)

I'm taking a break from my online traffic school (shorter traffic school: Don't be a dick, and slow the fuck down). I got a ticket recently when I misunderstood some confusing lane lines in Burbank. I thought they were telling me I could turn right from the two right-most lanes, but the friendly...
Yeah, thanks for tweeting about DungeonRaid earlier Wil... that's hours and hours of my life I will never get back.... Although I'm not sure I mind, cause it is awesome! :D
I should be spending those hours doing productive things, I know... but hey, prioritize right.. and DR is pretty high up on the list right now :P

Various things I want you to know
A few things before I forget: 1. Memories of the Future Volume 1 is available for your Kindle. It's also at Kindle.uk, and Kindle.de. It's temporarily out of the iBooks store, but I'll get that fixed in a few days. Hey, if you liked it, would you leave a review? 2. Yes, I'm working on Memories o...
"I'll carry them out in the open so the whole world can know my shame. Thanks for your help."
Cuddos for that, I only played the Pokemon Red and Blue (first gameboy ones) when I was a kid and I remember the hours of fun I had with that.. ever since those I have been to embarrassed to try the newer versions though..
Maybe I'll 'pull a Wheaton' and pick one up next time I'm in a game store, and if people give me weird looks I'll just exclaim 'Don't be a dick'. And feel proud to be a gamer.

Wil buys a new game. It's super effective!
A pair of twenty-something Bros, dressed and posed in a manner that was such a hilarious cliche, if I described them exactly as I saw them, my editor would have said, "no, that's too cliche," stood near the front of the store, communicating in some kind of Broglish that leaned heavily on the wor...
I would so buy one of the DVDs! Even though I am unemployed at the moment, but some things are more important than food right? ^_^

My brain desperately wants to write some stories, so I've been digging through the pile of Ideas That Didn't Quite Make It to see if anything in there inspires me, or is at least worth dusting off and poking with a sharp stick. So far, two stories look promising, though one of them needs a fairl...
Oh man, I hate that I don't live in the US and am not able to come to ECCC because I would SO want to buy one of these!
Any chance you'll do this for FedCon in Germany later this year, I would probably drive up to Germany just for this!

My Emerald City Comicon schedule, and an ultra-limited merchandise thingy
Tomorrow, I head up to glorious Seattle for the Emerald City ComiCon. I'm doing the usual storytellings and autograph signings, though I have to leave on Saturday due to an unfortunately-timed family commitment. I'm hosting an Awesome Hour on Friday at 4pm, and I'll be on The Guild panel with Am...

This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...
