... prohibitive. So for 2008’s limited edition chapbook extravaganza, I’ve put together the first ever Wil Wheaton Sampler. With the help of my editor Andrew, who is a former ninja warrior and recreational time traveler, I’ve pulled together things I like from all three of my books, my blog, and this groovy collaborative fiction project I play with called Ficlets. I’ve also included, for the...

'Cause Wil Wheaton's updated his psycho ex-girlfriend post! Update: Here, let me try this one more time for the humorless and professional victims out there, who seem to have shown up in a flood today: Gender, race, sexual orientation, things that make us different that we don't choose . . . they just don't matter to me. At all. People are people and identity politics is stupid. I found this...

A few additions to Jeffrey's comic convention coverage : A shy, middle-aged woman walked up to me with her partner as I was standing in a long line waiting for an autograph. “Excuse me, can I ask a question'” she said in a near-whisper. Sure, I said. She looked around for a moment before she spoke again. “Who is Wil Wheaton'” Well, I said, he’s an actor who played a very annoying character on...

Wil Wheaton has a post on his blog entitled “Hillary Clinton: the psycho ex-girlfriend of the democratic party,” and there’s really nothing more you need than the title to understand what the post is about. I’ve seen altogether too much of this from Obama supporters; not just sexism, but also bitter derision and gloating. 1 My message to Obama supporters such as Wheaton: Stop it. If...

... will be there, and discussed with hubby-Eric what I can and cannot purchase. I've even tweeted at Wil Wheaton to give him fair warning. I plan on wearing my Aquaman shirt with the best ever Aquaman panel on it tomorrow, and my "I'm Blogging This" shirt on Sunday. Both are clean and ready. I'll have my usual con bag with me, and of course, Torvald. My "twin" sister and I will be out on Saturday....

Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation –yeah I know, blame the writers for the character; Wil was just the young actor who wound up playing him) does not like Hillary Clinton. He writes: The thing about all of this is that, with a Clinton victory in the primary about as likely as jumping off the roof of your house and landing on the moon, it's become clear that this whole...

... colour picture pages, then there’s television stars there to including Julie Benz (Buffy/Angel), Wil Wheaton [ wwdn ] (from Stand By Me & Star Trek: The Next Generation ) and whatever science fiction actors could be coaxed down from Vancouver for the weekend. All in all it should be a great time. This is the third year in a row I’ll have come down for the show, so that's just not idle speculation....

I had to laugh at this post by Wil Wheaton pointing out that Hillary Clinton is behaving like a psycho ex-girlfriend. I agree with pretty much everything he says. Hillary has, for weeks now, been putting her ego above the interests of her party and she has succeeded only in damaging the inevitable candidate. You don't have to support Obama (and I still haven't decided who I'm going to vote...

The guest list is an eclectic brew, from Kurt Busiek and Tony Bedard to Bryan Lee O’Malley and Derek Kirk Kim . There are a few media guests,m but even these seem to be part of the gang, like Wil Wheaton and Fat Momma . ECCC seems to be a thoroughly modern and...

... talk by Neal Stephenson at a symposium on Science Fiction as a Literary Genre at Gresham College. Wil Wheaton speaks out about the upcoming Star Trek film: "...if this 'reinventing' -- which is such a loaded term in this post-Episode One world (5-19-99 never forget!) -- extends to some of the fundamentals of the Star Trek mythos, and if [J.J. Abrams] wants to make Star Trek more like Star...
