I remember laughing out loud the first time I read this post. It happened again this time too.

One more From The Vault, because I'd completely forgotten about it, and it made me laugh out loud when I read it. While Anne and I drove down the freeway today, Just Like Heaven came on the radio. "This was my first CD," I said. "I know," she said. "You tell me that every time we hear a song f...
One of the things I admire most about Wil is his strong conviction in and support of Creative Commons and that via Creative Commons, a large community can come together to take something awesome and elevate it to something totally unique and uber-awesome.
So my question is for the creators of TBBT. How they feel about Creative Commons and do they grok the idea of it too?

If you could ask the cast and creators of Big Bang Theory anything, what would it be?
This Friday, I'm moderating the Big Bang Theory panel at Comic-con. The entire cast will be in attendance, as well as series creators Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre. We only have an hour, which always goes by faster than we think, so I'm going to start out with a handful of my own questions before I...
This idea has pure win written all over it. I love that you grok your fans. Keep up the good ideas Wil!

my sword glows blue in the presence of rules lawyers
Around the end of last year, I Twittered: Just read this on Board Game Geek: "My sword glows blue in the presence of rules lawyers." I kind of want that on a T-shirt. I figured that it was very unlikely that I was the first person on all of the internet to combine gaming archetypes with Lord o...
That was a hell of a long podcast! Do paraphrases of season 3 count for an interesting/amusing comment?......I didn't think so.
Anyway, not opposed to long podcasts. Also not opposed to interesting interviews with famous people. Here's hoping the next interview will be with Kunal Nayyar!

Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty-Eight
Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! Has it really been three weeks since the last show? I guess it has. Well, I brought a note that will hopefully excuse my absence... Show Notes: The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progr...
I haven't laughed this hard at a post for a long time. Nice one! Next time, just don't resort to sticking Bon Jovi firmly in my head. Oh, and the part about making that sound you associate with old people. Just keep telling yourself "I'm 37, I'm not old."

in which a list is completed
Belle and Sebastian played in my office, while I got ready for this weekend's convention. I zipped up my backpack, stood up, and stretched. I made that ughh noise that, as a child, I always associated with old people. I walked a couple steps across the room and sat down at my desk to look at the...
mmmmmm...... bullet-bra'd heroines.

The Empire Strikes Back (1950)
I think this may be the most impressive Star Wars parody/tribute/whatever I've ever seen, and I've seen some truly great ones. This makes me want to do a 13 episode webseries, probably serialized 3 minutes at a time, that's entirely done in the 1950s Sci-Fi style, with locations at Vasquez R...
I've been meaning to ask you. What is it like for you watching Blade Runner since working with Rutger Hauer was such a nightmare on the set of Mr. Stitch? You must have been terribly disappointed on the set.

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...
I've been wanting to ask you. How is watching Blade Runner considering working with Rutger Hauer was such a nightmare? It must have been a terrible disappointment on the set of Mr. Stitch.

Does the title of this post imply that you are being a Paranoid Android? If so, I didn't realize that you are a robot. But that does confirm one of my theories.
Awesome song, by the way.

rain down on me from a great height
I had a very short day today, and was wrapped just after lunch, so I had the afternoon to myself to take care of some very important business. Before I get to that, though, a little bit about working on Eureka... The good news is that I was given permission to twitter and photograph from the set...

the most beguiling, horrible, opposite-of-fun experience I'd ever had
Reader G.M. e-mailed this picture and said, "How the f**k I ever believed that THIS was E.T., I'll never know -- but I still played it for hours and hours." The picture unlocked a memory I haven't thought about in a long time, but wanted to share: Around 1982 or 1983, before City Walk at Un...
That is awesome on too many levels. I'm sad that the only thing more awesome than that video will be your next episode of BBT and that will take weeks to arrive. Somehow, I'll find the will to wait for it.

The Who's Baba O'Reily, played using only items from Think Geek.
I watched this while trying to drink my coffee this morning. I say "trying" because I just sat here with my mouth hanging open until the whole thing was over. This is pure brilliance. Anyway, it seems appropriate to share this as I'm going out the door to start work on The Big Bang Theory: ...
Will you do a Q&A about your experience on working on the The Guild too?

Wow, nice shirt . . . Moonpie.
I love that this line has been immortalized in T-shirt form , not only because it's one of the funniest in the episode, but when we were rehearsing the scene it comes from, I grew a level in comedy acting: During one of the run throughs, when Jim did his Klingon bit, I turned to Kevin and as...
