Question, Wil: Have you seen the movie "Whip It"? It's actually about Roller Derby (capitalized for awesomeness), and I found it quite enjoyable. =)
kick out the jams, motherfu-
(Photo by me. Click to embiggen and get more info at Flickr.) Last night, Anne and I went to watch Roller Derby (which doesn't, by the rules of English grammar, need to be capitalized, but by the rules of capitalizing Things What Are Awesome does) live for the very first time. I used to watc...

I have no recommendations for you, but I will say that I can't wait to see you on Eureka. It's an awesome show. :D
Eureka: all the rage - day zero
Greetings from Vancouver, where I sit high above the city, looking out over a balcony, through a sliding glass door that I dare not open, because single digit temperatures in Celsius are just as cold as their Fahrenheit cousins. If you're joining the broadcast late, I'm here for an episode of Eu...
Though I believe you are wrong in believing homosexuality to be wrong, I am glad you are willing to accept the possibility that you are wrong, and that you have chosen to treat others with respect and dignity.
James Randi: "I'm gay."
James Randi says:Well, here goes. I really resent the term, but I use it because it’s recognized and accepted.I’m gay.From some seventy years of personal experience, I can tell you that there’s not much “gay” about being homosexual. For the first twenty years of my life, I had to live in the sha...
I feel like youth are generally more accepting of that sort of thing (depending on where you are, of course, but still) - people would not blink an eye at two guys (or girls) holding hands at school or college.

Haha, I happened to see this even before you linked it! I think I saw it on Twitter minutes after they posted a link to it. Awesome stuff. Stylophones are fun stuff. :)
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: ...
It sounds like your weekend was made of pure awesomeness. You lucky bastard.
Something something something awesome weekend
I had a rather ... interesting ... weekend. According to Paul and Storm on Sunday, I won the game of "What I did last night" that I didn't even know we were playing. It was so surreal, I'm mostly writing this down today so I never forget what an incredible time we had. Saturday, Anne and I were ...

Eh. I'm not really that interested in Magic. I'm done with the card-games stage of my life, having bought both Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards at some point in my life. Thanks for the offer, though. :P
in place of a title, imagine Ric Ocasek walking around on the surface of a pool
I guess I could just say, "Hey, I'm playing Magic on Xbox Live this weekend, so check out the details here," but it's more fun to tell a story, first. In 1993, while killing time between appointments, I wandered into a game shop in the valley. I looked around the aisles, thumbed through the RPG ...
Given that I go to Carnegie Mellon, I could pretty much walk up to any random guy on campus and he'd probably know how to play... But I don't. Well, actually, I do, courtesy of a Game Boy Advance version of the game (I think it was GBA), but not well. I think I've only played one actual game with tangible cards (if even that). I have no cards, and thus, I can not play.

Looking awesome... I hope to see more movies with ZQ as Spock. He pulls it off really well :D
VIDEO: Spock Extra Feature - TREK DVD
I've never played D&D before (pretty sure there's literally _nobody_ in the town where I live who plays it), but I want to try it out sometime. Seems fun. (And I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Carnegie Mellon students who play - we're a pretty nerdy college.)
I'm saying this for the last time: HIS. NAME. IS. AEOFEL!
I've been pointing out new episodes of the D&D/Penny Arcade/PvP/Me podcast on Twitter, but since the third series draws to a close today, I thought I'd catch up, and then share some thoughts on the final episode. My last post took us up to episode three, so... Episode Four: In this episode, the...
"When it is found, NASA will exultantly shout it to the world, of that I am totally positive."
Exactly. Do you know how insanely exciting that would be for them (or anyone with a remote interest in the universe around them)? Seriously, you conspiracy theorists assume governments can orchestrate an organized cover-up.
Bootprints On The Moon
Last month a reader left a comment on this site wondering where the “Apollo artifacts” were that I said NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) would photograph. Well this is the coolest picture to date from LRO that captures the activities of Apollo astronauts at a moon-landing site. It is ...
I think @spam is pretty effective at blocking the ones reported to it, but the problem is that there are so many more... They need to implement something to keep the bots from signing up.
the spambots on twitter are completely out of control
A few months ago, Twitter changed their @replies tab into something called @mentions. This had a significant impact on a lot of us who use Twitter, especially those of us with a large number of followers. Originally, I'd only see a message with @wilw in it if that's the way the message began. It...
The same guy also created Urban Dead:
"Urban Dead is a massively multiplayer zombie-infection web-game, from the creator of this simulation. Help to evacuate or loot a quarantined city, or join the shambling hordes."
in which progress is made
A few months ago, while playing Left 4 Dead, I found myself cowering in a closet, absolutely terrified to go back out and face the horde. I knew that I had to move so the game would continue, but I just didn't want to go out and take my chances. I didn't know at the time that L4D has this sinist...
Nyah!
