YES! Now I have this, the Avatar parody ("This is how sky people connect.") and the Simpsons parody to buy. Personally I think the Flintstones, Big Bang Theory, and Scooby Doo parodies don't look that great from the trailers.
@Lilacwire, I've yet to come across a porn parody trailer that isn't visually safe for work (the audio might contain references that aren't, but headphones will deal with that). I'm not saying there aren't any, I just haven't seen them. Also, if you watch them on youtube it should let you know it's NSFW before watching it.
Your move, Fan Fiction Writers
This is Safe for Work. As Chris Hardwick says, I think I'm going to buy this, and skip the naughty bits so I can see the story. (There are a bunch of NSFW behind the scenes pictures from actress April O'Neil -- who is a gigantic geek, apparently -- right here.)
"a lot more people than I can fit into my back yard read my blog"
Ahh, so that explains the lack of barbecue and lawn...
Apple gave me back all my lost music, free of charge
Earlier today, when my iPod and my upgraded iTunes 7 got together and decided that my purchased music would really be happier living on a farm upstate with other m4p's, I did whatever I could to convince the music to come back. I tried to reverse the polarity on my iPod, and I tried modify the n...

I think it's healthy to be pissed that you weren't invited, you WERE part of it. To me Wesley was as essential as Picard or Data... well, maybe not THAT essential, but still there. You were in the credits, you should have gotten an invite.
It's great that you've moved past Star Trek, but don't go diluding yourself and saying that you don't care that you weren't a part of the celebration. You were part of Star Trek, Star Trek IS a part of you, neither would be the same without the other.
The other actors have moved on (for the most part) and they were still invited, and would probably have been at least disappointed, if not pissed, if they weren't invited.
I think you should have complained. While I agree that it's not really that important, the squeeky wheel does get the grease (just don't be too squeeky, otherwise you'll just be tossed out).
Happy 40th Birthday, Star Trek
Today, Star Trek turns 40 years old, which means that the Enterprise is totally going to grow a ponytail and start dating younger star ships. Sweet! As part of my personal celebration of this great show and its history, today I began writing reviews of classic episodes of The Next Generation for...

My comment in 4 parts:
a) Reply to previous commentor: Anne may say dude, but more than likely Wil is recounting it semi-fictionally, using his own words as if everyone spoke like him. Then again, maybe his whole family DOES talk like him...
b) Wil, THIS type of post is the reason I come here. I realize that this is YOUR blog and you post whatever the hell you like, and that people actually do enjoy poker enough to read about someone else playing it (there's apparently an entire site about it, so I guess there must be). But it's your (at times) semi-fictional and (at times) hillarious anecdotes that make me return. So, do what you like, but if you want input I suggest more things like this. This is the kind of thing that made your books so awesome. I'm not here for your (arguably ex-) celebrity status, it's why I came, but it's not why I stayed.
c) I'm not sure you can count this as an anniversary when you've been in exile for almost a year now... I realize you're working on the other one, but really, it's been a while now, take off the cast and toss away the crutches.
d) Your new favicon at WWdN (lowercase 'd' as you seem to like it these days) looks a lot like the Lost logo.. Similar colors, too small to make much out... Ooh, you should make it animated, W-I-L-W-I-L over and over... (that way, when the L is showing it COULD be the Lost logo...)
try at working out chaotic things
Today is WWdN's fifth birthday. To celebrate, I break my self-imposed week-long silence and offer the following scene from my living room, last night: Anne and I played Scene It? which is an insanely fun game in the style of Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture Edition, Cranium, etc. One of ...

"It is my birthday this coming Saturday (the 17th)! I will be exactly 26 years old. I plan to spend my level-up points on +3 Strength, +4 Endurance, and the Wacom Slash of Death special ability. I hear it's good against polar bears."
Dude, why didn't I think of that? That's the most awesomest geeky pointless thing I've ever seen! Seeing as how leveling up is the RPG version of birthdays...
the sofa in san tropez
It's true. I'll never forget my meeting with Deathbot 9000. I even wrote about it in Just A Geek . . . though several details were changed to protect the guilty

Yeah, PS in Extras was awesome. Originally it was going to be someone else but apparently PS called up and asked to be in it. Can't wait for the second series.
The showdown one was pretty good too, cool song.
the more you know
And now, your semi-regular bits of Internets video hilarity: The Ultimate Showdown, via Nolan, who watches this once a day and cracks up every time. Patrick Stewart from Extras, via my brother Jeremy, who says it's "funny, funny, fuuuuuunnnay." This is actually very much like the sense of humor...

First thing's first: those uniforms certainly are... purple...
And secondly: You two really are amazing. I think it's great that you do these things, I hope you choose a breast cancer charity where the majority of donations actually go towards the research and not charity overhead.
The main problem with cancer charities in general is that it's such a lucrative enterprise. I'm not saying it's not good to donate, but you really have to make sure that what you're donating is actually going to the research.
Another problem is that as soon as they find a cure all these people are going to be out of a job, which kinda dampens the process.
In any case, I wish your friend's sister good luck with treatment.
Post-marathon comments from the wife
A month ago, I freaked. "There's no way I can run the whole marathon." "Me neither!" exclaimed my nervous husband. "Well, I guess instead of freaking out that we can't run the whole thing, let's just plan on walking half and see how we feel." Fast forward to Saturday June 3rd. I'm feeling g...

"TNT"?
I guess they realized that their real initials (TIT) wouldn't go down very well with some people.
by the numbers
I just got an e-mail from the Rock-N-Roll Marathon. Check out these numbers: The 2006 edition of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon brought over 22,000 registered participants to the starting line. Of this group over 4,000 participants ran for charity, raising $12.5 million (net) for The Leukemia & Lymph...

Ok, so what is 13.1?
Is it like the next Lost number?
4 8 15 16 23 42 13.1?
thirteen point one
We completed the 1/2 marathon in just over three hours and fifteen minutes yesterday. We mostly walked, but got in a little bit of easy jogging, too. There's so much to say, but I'm too wiped out to say much more than thank you right now, and that's the most important thing of all. Thank you!...

Just thought you might like to know that the FSM book is out...
Nifty eh?
i'm sorry, dave, i'm afraid i can't do that
Really, really funny error message just now while searching my Technorati favorites: The Flying Spaghetti Monster has arrived and we have all been taken to planet Zeus 94 to kneel before Zod. All this is a little much for us to handle at the moment so come back later please. And leave a quarter i...

two burning questions, answered
Question the first: What if comic geeks re-enacted comic book battles the same way history geeks re-enact Civil War battles? Answer: Re-Enacting Marvel Secret Wars. (via Wired) Question the second: What would happen if the Enterprise D battled with the original Enterprise? Answer: Sci-Fi Battle...

Cooking with tequila, eh? That sounds rather good.
And you gave this to the kids?
i meant every word i said
Dinner is finished, and Anne is helping Nolan with some homework at the dining room table. I'm sitting outside by the fire pit, enjoying the fruits of our weekend of patio labor. I am surrounded by freshly-planted wildflowers, two types of tomatoes, and the sweet smell of lavender, roses, and jus...

Looking forward to when the gods and godesses of technology (not too many godesses for some reason, but the few that are there have to fend off the other geek gods) stop punishing you for letting you fly their space ship.
radio silence
Some days, you just have to accept that you're not destined to do the things you want to do. You just have to say, "I did my best, but it's just not going to happen." Like this fucking podcast, for example. After spending nearly three hours working on it yesterday, only to have my machine comple...
