Wil has been (re)assimilated.
All hail the purple cow.

As a long time reader (like Geocities long time), I'm oddly excited for the day that you officially return to WWdN. I think it's great you posted some links from the old site for those people that have only started reding your blog in exile, BTW.
(possibly weird) request - add a module on WWdN that links to some of the "greatest hits" of your blog. Some of your posts are hands down some of the best writing I've seen on the Internets, and for new readers it might be a great way for them to get a feel for your writing style and the type of content they're likely to see at WWdN. Just my two cents.
Looking forward to the return....
box of rain
I'm working on WWdN today (about to stop and walk my dogs; the rain has broken, and it's quite beautiful outside right now) and I thought I'd share a couple of links for any readers who found me in Exile, rather than following me over from WWdN. The first is something I wrote a long, long time a...

Behold! A purple cow!
Kudos on the show, it was hawesome.
Radio Free Burrito Episode 8
Today, it's a brief political rant (you have been warned), then it's all questions and answers, no stupid meta-talk about what I'm going to do, just getting down to it and having a good time. A lot of people have asked if I can change the numbering of the episodes; I did that on this one. It's...

A big thanks to Wil for responding to all the reader/listener comments and emails.
Not knowing your full story beyond what we see on the blog, IMHO you sound like someone who finally got to the bottom of the hill and is starting to look for a way up the next one. Don't worry, you'll find it.
some air to breathe and something to believe
"We've all had our ups and downs It's been mostly down around here Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear" -Uncle Tupelo, Life Worth Living Thank you for all your feedback on the podcast and the blog. Many more people responded than I expected, and virtually all of you wondered if I ...

I'm a blogger and not a user of either service, but IMHO I would recommend MT. I've tried Typepad before and I agree it's got an excellent interface, but if somewhere off in the future they make a change you don't like, or you want to add some functionality to WWdN that can't be easily integrated with Typepad, you might end up longing for the freedom of a more customizable system.
Incidentally I recently posted a comment on your Technorati post asking about the status of WWdN, so it's great to get a recent update. Thanks!
mt with plugins vs. typepad: which do you prefer?
Okay, I've rebuilt the entire old WWdN database, and made significant progress on the relaunch of WWdN:2.0. I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to Mike Pusateri, who pulled the entire WWdN databse, pre-fuck-up-by-wil, including all the comments and everything, and put it into a 38MB text file for me ...

Not that I'm complaining as the most significant part of your blog is obviously the writing (which I think is excellent BTW), but do you have any comments as to when the official WWdN site will return? Just curious. I don't know why, but every time I get an update from your feed I come to check and see if the 50,000 monkeys have finally overpowered WWdN:iX and brought back the reign of WWdN.
technorati favorites
Technorati added a new service to the already useful search, explore and watchlist functions they offer, which allows users to create a list of their favorite blogs. Though WWdN dropped out of their top 100 when I hosed the database back in September, I was still invited to participate in a ...
