And: I don't ever want to lose the experience of going to the comic shop on Wednesday and walking around -- even if I'm only there to get two books. Spending 40 minutes looking at everything and talking to the other geeks that are there and having the owner of the comic shop say, "I know you normally don't read this, but based on the years of you coming here I think you'd like it," I really like that. ... Point of clarification: In the interview, I say "I've been reading Batman since Grant Morrison started working on it, because there are a few guys in the world that I'll read anything...

Hey, check it out! I found a tube that goes right into the studio, so I can ride the Internets while I'm between scenes! Today is the day I've been waiting for since I booked this job. Today is the...

I got home at 4 this morning, didn't fall asleep until 5, and then had to explain to my dogs that, no, just because I was in bed and the sun was coming up, I'm not interested in getting up to do stuff with them. ... I'm keeping a production diary, which I can't release until my episode airs in October, but I can safely say that working on this show, with this cast and crew, creating this character, has reawakened my slumbering love of acting. I'll have more to say about that when I can really analyze how I feel about it and why. (short short version: I miss the camaraderie of being in a...

My love of metahumor probably comes from the same place as my love of obscure references, which can be traced, in part, to MST3K. John Kovalic has been killing me with the metahumor this week, so for my fellow members of the metahumor appreciation society, I present Monday's and today's Dork Tower comics.

It's got to be so difficult for these writers to take a certain scene or character in one direction, write really great dialog and stuff to get them there, and then be told that they have to throw it all away and take things in a different direction. ... For a fascinating insider's view of this process, you must read John Rogers ' posts about his show Leverage : Leverage: Lessons from the Script Pile Leverage Week 1 Leverage Week 2 Leverage Week 3 Leverage Weeks 4 + 5 Leverage Week 6 (There are more Leverage posts, but that's...

Based on the positive feedback from yesterday's sighting of Happiest Days in the wild , I made a flickr group for other people who want to show off their book in its natural habitat: Do you have Just a Geek , Dancing Barefoot , or The Happiest Days of Our Lives , by me, Wil Wheaton? If you do, this is your chance to show me, Wil Wheaton (and everyone else in the world, now that I, Wil Wheaton, think about it) where you've taken them. ... It's certainly funnier in my head (and on stage) than it is on...

I always tell people who are successful to take a moment and enjoy it, especially if it's someone I know and respect, and I know how hard they've worked to earn their success. (Otis, I'm looking in your direction right...

We talked for about two hours, and he ended up with a transcript that's so long, they're splitting the interview into three parts. Part one is up today, and rather than excerpt it heavily, I'll just quote my favorite bit: [TokyoPop] asked me if I would write a Next Generation Manga, and would I write a Wesley Crusher story, and I didn't want to do it because it felt to me like there was no way in that equation that I could return a positive result. ... I frequently decide that there's just no such thing as too much gaming . . . then I read something like...

As always, if you buy it via the image above, (or buy anything via this link ) I get shiny gold rocks that I can trade for other awesome Threadless shirts of my own, like this one: It occurs to me now that I haven't gone on a T-shirt buying rampage in several months. ... (You know, when I go to Think Geek, it's like a suburban mom going to Target or Costco. I go in there for one T-shirt, and I end up leaving with a ton of other stuff I had no intention of buying when I walked through the door.
