Wil, The Wellington Grey article on DMCA is no longer there and despite my best efforts I was unable to find a cached copy of it anywhere. I really wanted to see what it was all about.

I really, really, REALLY hate DRM. Especially when it screws honest people.
I'm sure that many of you know that I hate DRM so much, it makes me want to punch babies. I have promised that I will never knowingly infect anything you buy from me with DRM. So you'll probably be as surprised as I am to learn that Lulu put Memories of the Future, Volume 1 into the iBook store ...
I look forward to Evil Wil vs. Sheldon part 2! Well at least I can hope for a part 2.

The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary
I'm at w00tstock right now, and I haven't even seen the show, but I thought it would be fun to write a post in advance so anyone who watched The Big Bang Theory tonight would have a place to talk about it. If everything goes according to plan, this should post right as the episode is finishing o...
I can't believe they let you wear that shirt! HAHAHAHAHA! *ahem* Looking forward to the episode.

Hey look! It's the promo for my episode of The Big Bang Theory!
Holy. Carp. Wil's Mind = BLOWN. This is the coolest thing I've seen all day. I can't believe that CBS chose to make the promo for next week's episode all about me! It's a huge honor, because it means someone at CBS thinks I'm worth audience. I've also heard from two friends who have seen sc...
I loved this episode!! The showdown was fantastic. And "He's the Kobayashi Maru," had me howling!
I can't wait for your next guest appearance.

Leverage - The Two Live Crew Job
Early feedback from tonight's episode of Leverage is overwhelmingly positive, which delights me. I'm so happy to hear that so many people liked it. If you've seen the show already, you may get a kick out of the pictures I took during production and just added to Flickr, but there are spoilers, s...
*laughs* That's one crazy random happenstance.

I know, I know, it's so very wrong. But that's precisely why it's so right!

my episode of gorgeous tiny chicken machine show
My episode of Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show won't be "officially" released until tomorrow, but thanks to my extensive contacts in the seedy and delicious underbelly of the Internets, I've secured access to the episode a full 24 hours early. I did some interviews to support this episode,...
Bwahahahahaha that picture is brilliant! Personally I'd love to see that, though I'm not certain if it would work past an episode or two.

How funny is it that I'm decrying the retcon and bitching about the "reinventing" of Star Trek on the same day that io9 writes Captain Wesley Crusher: SIS: The Star Trek franchise has always been about "big picture" stories, but the next Trek series should take the opposite approach, narrow the ...
Outside these constrained and limited circumstances, I am distinctly unfamous
This could not be more true. I can't help but be amused at my own small fame. I am a founder of an Anime convention in Pittsburgh, PA called Tekkoshocon. To a number of attendees I am famous and important. I will still on occasion get the big eyed, jaw drop, OMG expression when I mention my status as founder and first Convention Chair.

scalzi on fame
John Scalzi is doing this cool feature on Whatever where he takes lets readers ask him questions, to which he provides thoughtful and entertaining answers. I've thought about doing this (and did it for a brief time on Radio Free Burrito) but I'm not all that good at it, especially when John sets...
That was most excellent Wil! You really hit the nail on the head.
Oddly enough I was thinking about your picture quite a bit. While it's a very handsome picture of you, I thought it was quite out of date with the growth of the goatee. Then again you might have shaved it off recently. Not like I'd know the intimate details of your facial hair. ^^; ... ... Ok I think I'm going to go hide over in a corner and be super embarrassed now.

i'm on wired's game|life today
Wired.com's game|life blog does a feature where they ask someone from the gaming community two questions, one about the gaming industry, and one about something that's completely random. Today, that person is me: Do you think it is possible videogames will ever achieve the sort of widespread and...
Hahahahahahahahahaha! So much love for you Wil. That picture made my day.
Patiently waiting while you continue your recovery. Bleeding Wil due to internet stupidity BAD.

I saw the doctor yesterday, and he used that thing from Total Recall to suction about 90 pounds of extremely disgusting stuff out of my head. (Please note that certain aspects of these reports may be exaggerated for various reasons, mostly because I find them amusing.) He told me that I have to ...
So happy to hear your recovery is going well, keep it up. A little fyi, that was not gross at all. More details are required to make it icky. What you did manage to say was funny. And thus my uber lame comment comes to an end.

i don't want to go on the cart
I feel happy! I feel happy! In all seriousness, I'm recovering at exactly the right pace, according to people who keep score on this sort of thing. Warning: this is about to get gross. I'm off all the meds, except for some stupid steroid for swelling that makes me really fucking irritable and re...
Thank you for the "I'm still alive post," but to echo everyone else here... rest up and get well soon!

. . . yep. But my doctor says that talking on the phone, sending e-mails, posting in my blog, and spending too any time doing much more than watching TV (I'm still too drugged up to fucos -- I'm not changing the spelling on that because it's so goddamn funny -- on reading this big stack of graph...

Is anyone interested in WWdN merchandise?
Before I put in the time and effort to make some new WWdN merchandise for the WWdN CafePress store, I'm looking for a show of hands: is anyone interested in some WWdN gear, like T-shirts and stuff? I don't have the time or desire to run a store myself, or take the risk of buying a lot of stock a...
That is amazingly sweet. Now where's my teddy bear to hug?

Anne and I went into a little coffee place in Eagle Rock this afternoon, on a spur of the moment date. While we waited, the girl who poured our coffee looked at me from behind the espresso machine and said, "Are you who I think you are?" I've heard this question a lot in my life, and there real...
I am a very new Whovian. After having a number of friends geeking out over Christopher Eccleston being on Heroes, I decided to check out the new episodes of Who. Netflix is responsible for my most recent obsession. While Eccleston was great, I have totally fallen for David Tennant as the Doctor.
Daleks in Manhattan and the episode after that in the 3rd season of the most recent ones was FANTASTIC!

I should have finished my script yesterday, but the goddamn sinusitis completely knocked me out. Luckily, used a winning combination of Sudafed, Mucinex, Advil, and sitting on the couch next to a humidifier to prevent this thing from developing into something really nasty, like a Moose Bite. ...
Wil that is fantastic! I can't wait for your episode! Makes me think back to when you had the part of the crazy bum on CSI. You were great there too.

and now for something completely different
There was a time when I called myself an actor/writer. Then I realized that, saying it aloud, I was calling myself an actor, slash writer. While I suppose this would be immensely appealing to some people, it's not how I wish to be remembered by history, so I made an effort to call myself a write...
That speech... so beautiful and touching. Giving those bars to Rod... I'm struggling not to cry because I'm currently at work. You are a master. Wonderful introduction!
On a more personal note the Next Generation had a huge impact on my life as I was growing up. Seeing how the Star Trek legacy continues to affect the world today is just amazing. I am in awe of how much Star Trek has done.

When I talked to my mom on Sunday morning, she asked me how the Hall of Fame induction went. "Good," I said. "It was better than I could have hoped." "Will you write about it, so your dad and I can experience what it was like to be there?" I smiled. I love it that she asked me to do that. Mom, t...

I read last night that Don Herbert, who was known to generations of protogeeks as Mr. Wizard, passed away yesterday. He was nearly 90 years old. I remember watching Mr. Wizard's World, You Can't Do That On Television and The Third Eye on Nickelodeon when my parents first got cable television, an...
The FAQ looks good. It will be nice to have a unified WWdN site again.
Keep up the great work Wil!

TypePad has this nifty new feature that lets users build stand alone pages using the TypePad interface that so many of us love, so building a more complex and complete website to go with our TypePad blogs just got a whole lot easier. This is really good news, because it means I'll be leaving Exil...
*waves* Another LJ user here who reads your stuff via syndication. I love your feed specifically because it has the actual entries and not just a link to your blog. Those feeds are silly and annoying, yet I still subscribe to a number of them. ^^;

Dear LiveJournal: I know we don't speak directly very often, even though several thousand of your users read my lame blog via syndication over there, but I really have to say thank you. See, I've been under more stress and pressure the last couple of months than I've experienced in years. I'm fr...
*falls over* That's so awesome Wil. It's times like this that I curse my east coast existance. If I could somehow pull together the funds to be there...
Anyway, you will be just fine there. You will never fully escape Trek, but with every blog entry and every day that goes by people know you more for being you than for being a character named Wesley Crusher.

Back in February, I recounted the first time I met Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade at Comicon: I have always enjoyed Penny Arcade, because -- like pVp and Dork Tower -- it has characters I can care about and relate to while I'm laughing at myself, or them, or (usually) both. I talked to Gabe a...
Bwhahahaha that's great.
I am a fan of this particular uniform, that is until Wesley got into his Starfeet red. It was SO much better than the sweaters or the grey jumpsuit that never zipped up properly. /sigh
