Slashdot Mirror

This is going to sound sad, but here goes. So, PA wants to keep me from seeing bad things and is forcing my ISP to block these sites? Oh my God! I'm just so happy to have a government that wants to do something totally useless when it comes to protecting me while I surf the web!

Look, in all honestly, I only have a few websites that I ever visit with any regularity. Those sites are:

1. Of Course, Slashdot.
2. 1 Wrestling Dot Com - My Pro Wrestling Fix
3. My Site, Rancho Relaxo - Checking on the site, updating, etc.
4. AnimeFu - Opinions are like Escaflowne DVDs: Everybody Has One...
5. Keeping Up On That Wheaton Kid - Because the Real-Life Wil is much cooler than Wesley...
6. Cartoon Orbit - Their gToons game is neat, and yes, I'm addicted to cartoons.
7. Yahoo! Games - Pinochle and Spades.

That's it. At least once a day, I visit these sites (my own site even less). Sometimes I Google for info and images. But there is one thing that I'm most certainly not sick or stupid enough to go after, and that's child pr0n. Honestly, I don't have to go looking for regular, legal porn, either.

So, my ISP is now going to have to filter out sites I don't even care to think about, let alone visit. Not that I much care, really. Just interesting to know that I'm being protected by a state government that spawned the first ever Secretary of Homeland Security (Tom Ridge, who's only positive achievement as our governer was finally raising the highway speed limit to 65), cost my father his job twice (taking two state hosipitals and making them private), screwed up my student loans (AES/PHEAA is guilty there), can't maintain roads properly...

You get the idea, right?

You know Wil Wheaton reads Slashdot too... but I don't think he'll have a problem with anything that happens to Crushed Wesley!

They'll eventually figure out the deep, dark secret of the ST:TNG series: Wil Wheaton was the glue that held that show together. He was the driving force that kept us all watching. His creative spirit guided the series, and to leave him out of a project is to incur the Wrath of Khan.

Seriously, Wil, got any comments?

It's great that you've embraced the Web and have your own website. But it's even better that you have a weblog.

Weblogs, by their nature, are meant to be updated all the time. And while your articles and books are great there's something special when a celebrity such as yourself (and others, like the singer Moby and the actor Wil Wheaton), is willing to take on a project that really allows the fan to see you as one of us; as if we're holding a conversation.

Thus, do you recommend to your other high-profile friends, such as Rock Bottom Remainders band-mate Stephen King, to start a weblog instead of the rarely updated-type website?

Heh.

Actually, it's wil wheaton dot net :)

Now I feel like I've arrived.

Now I have to go play Net Hack for several hours, just to die in the mines while blind.

And Mrs. Wheaton will go to bed alone, again.

Stop playing with time-shifting, and go out and play with the kids...

Would agree!... I think.

If I can come through (I was on sabatical for a week), I think it would only be proper for Rob to give me some leadership position here at Slashdot.

Sadtimes

One of my old spacesuits is being auctioned off on eBay. I'm not sure why, but it makes me feel a little sad.

I'm sitting here, about to write a little entry about it, when my phone rings. It's a friend of mine, asking me if I'm going to the Star Trek X screening.

"Yeah, on Wednesday," I tell him.

"No, it's tonight," he tells me.

"Tonight? At Paramount?"

"No, it's in Westwood, tonight," he tells me, "I just talked with Marina about it."

Oh no.

That feeling I have gotten so many times before, when I was the only cast member not asked up on stage at the 25th anniversary party, when I was the only cast member not recognized at the screening of "All Good Things..." begins to well up. I feel a little sick.

He wouldn't do this to me, right? Not now, not after the conversations we had when I was working on the movie, not since the phone call informing me of the cut. This must be a mistake. Past is the past, right? We're cool now. There is no way he'd exclude me from this.

But he did.

He did it to me again.

I want to cry.

I tell my friend that I have to go, and hang up the phone.

I sit there alone and cold in the kitchen. I can hear Ryan watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch in the living room.

I can't believe this is happening to me. When Rick told me that my scenes were cut, he assured me that I'd still be invited to the premiere, and that he'd see me there. I was excited to see all my friends again, and share in those moments with them. Be a part of what will really be the final mission.

It turns out that the screening I was invited to will be at Paramount on Wednesday, and pretty much anyone who works at Paramount can attend. It's not the premiere, and none of the cast are going. There's really nothing special about it.

I seriously, desperately hope that this was just an oversight. I desperately hope that this is totally out of Rick's hands, and that he'll tell me that he's sorry if it ever comes up. I desperately hope this isn't personal. I want so badly to believe that it isn't. It sucks to be overlooked, but it sucks less than if I'd been intentionally not invited.

It sure fits a pattern though, huh?

I just -- I don't know what to do. I don't even know how to feel anymore.

But I'll go with hurt for now.

Really, really fucking hurt.

until Wesley Crusher's scene was cut.

... considering the way Berman treats Wheaton. Bad reviews == I won't be missing anything.

Wesley Crusher uses linux, too!

I'm sure everyone else here will point this out to you, but CleverNickName is Wil Wheaton.

Are you kidding? Read his website. He still thinks that he's famous for "Stand By Me" (1986)!

(Of course, if I had his filmography, I'd be playing up "Stand By Me" too. Deleted from the Last Starfighter? What were they thinking?)

So why don't you take the first step, and pull all the Amazon ads off the right side of your page. I don't even see why you have them, your spum trolls already know everything you read and watch. Oh, that's right, you need to sell them stuff too. (Re: the ads, and that pointless regrind of babble from your site you are calling a "book.")

Its here in his web site

Only the biggest trekkies will be at this release.

Planning on releasing the movie right inbetween the newest bond and the two towers (that preorder tickets go on sale tomorrow, btw).

It just seems like they shoulda tried to release it before "Die Another Day" to get higher opening day ticket sales, instead of battling the other two movies for income.

I thought geeks who need to get a life were obsessed with Na ^H^H Wil Wheaton?
Naw, only if they are fans of his his site.

Of course, what's funny about this is that Wheaton has turned out to be a pretty decent geek. Actually into things like applet functionality and server optimization. Unlike, say Jamie "how does that Internet thing work?" Doohan.
Here's to you, Wil, Geekboy indeed. He DOESN'T just play one on TV.

Re : wilwheaton.net

hey wil, check your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file for 'DocumentRoot' then chown the files there to the user:group (again from httpd.conf)... you might also like to change the permissions so the new owner can read...

No worries, we'll just unleash Uncle "Wesley" Willy on them. ;-)

My HS AP English teacher...

Whenever the conversation turns to HS English teachers, I think back to 9th grade, and my evil HS English teacher, Mrs. Lee.

She told me at the beginning of the year that I would most likely fail her class, "because you're an actor, Wil, and actors are usually stupid."

I was aghast, because I'd always gotten extremely good grades in English and Creative Writing.

She made good on her word, though. She would often take points off of my papers because of my "style," which she said was "terrible."

It was galling to me that an English teacher could apply her own subjective judgement to something like "style," and use it as an excuse to give me bad grades. I vowed to someday exact my revenge by becoming a successful writer.

Right now, I write for a TV show, my website, and I'm working on two books, both fictional, one semi-autobiographical. When they are published, I will dedicate them to Mrs. Lee.

...Wil need to update his FAQ?

Will you be in any of the movies?
I sure will. Look for me in Star Trek X (Star Trek OSX.1, if youre a Mac user) .

ps. journals.slashdot.org and helpdesk.slashdot.org please.

Obviously, someone knew he was going to get slashdotted. Wil's website has already batten'd the hatches and is off the net in order to protect his poor, long-suffering host from the strangling bandwidth. No word from Wil as to when it, and the forums, will be back up.

IRC chat is still available on the Undernet (no pithy comments, please) on channel #wwdn.

As far as the Hugos go my favorite this year is American Gods. I thought I'd hate the book, judging from its title and the fact that I'm not American at all. I nearly didn't read it, but in the end decided I couldn't make a fair judge of the other Hugo nominees without reading it. I am very glad I did. The American in the title refers to being of all of America, not just the USA.
Neil Gaiman's Coraline just came out as well, and my copy's already in the mail.

I didn't think that I would like American Gods very much, but I picked it up on the recommendation of Uncle Willy and found out that I enjoyed it quite a bit. In fact, I just reread it again a couple weeks ago beore I started passing it around to my friends. It's not particularly dense reading (I finished it in one lazy Saturday) but is still quite entertaining.

Our own dear Wil Wheaton.

Think about it. He's handsome in a boy-next-door Young Republican poster kind of way, he has the correct wholesome, too good to be true, "I'll save-the-day" associations in the public consciousness, he can actually act, he has geek appeal, and he looks good in a skin tight unitard.

Petition here.

• Have you been approached to play Batman? (Or Robin?)

Hmmm. Given that this isn't going to be Dark Knight Returns or Kingdom Come, they might as well start over with a new (or a Next, ahem) generation of actors. Superman requires a wholesome, All-American actor.

Honestly, can you imagine anyone better than Wil? You could just see him on a Young Republican recruitment poster, and most people will remember him as the too good to be true "I'll-save-the-day!" Wesley Crusher.

Kick the campaign off, it'll get my name on it. Or maybe I just want to see him in a skintight unitard again.

I suppose it's different, than Men in Black. I imagine a movie with that as an opener has the potential of making a lot of people think. Not by turning it into a 9/11 tragedy clone, but by actually realizing what needs to be flushed from the world.

Oh well, there's no way anyone would want to see it. In wartime, America is perfect, right? Right!

So pass me the popcorn! I'm helping the economy by going to see this one!

I wouldn't expect a comment from him. According to his website, he's on vacation right now. Well, not quite vacation, more like a working vacation. He's on a guest on CruiseTrek.

Rather than bothering to see this movie, I suggest you visit wilwheaton.net for some good old-fashioned self-important verbal masturbation. Here is a select sample:


When I come home late at night from E3, I toss my keys on the table, and say hello to Ferris.

I drop my fully-loaded "X-Box" bag-o-schwag on the floor, and sit down at my computer to check emails and make sure porn has not been banned from the internet. Oh good, it's still there.

It's late at night, and the rest of my house is asleep. The only sound other than my typing is that soft comforting hum of the fan in my computer. The room is dark, except for the light falling off of my monitor.

He's sitting in my open zipper, just outside the monitor's soft glow, staring at me.

"Hey, Wesley, I've got some good news."

"You've had a change of heart, and you're going to put me in a Jello mold with Counselor Troi and Princess Leia?"

"No. First of all, Princess Leia isn't even the right scale for you --"

"Who said anything about scale? I'm articulated!"

"Do you want to hear the good news, or not?"

He sighs the perturbed yet insecure sigh of an 18 year-old's penis. He strains his little body against the cold steel of the zipper.

"Yes."

"You're way more popular that I thought. People have bid nearly 300 dollars to suck you on eBay! You're a hit, Crusher! They love you!"

He stops straining and looks at me, incredulous.

"What?"

"Yeah! Take a look."

I pick him up and turn him to face the nude photo of Serenity.

"Hey, slow down, jackass. You're going to give me motion sickness."

I wonder if this is the correct penis. I wonder if I've picked up Anne's dildo, instead. I spin him around again, and look for the tell tale scar he got when I accidentally got him stuck in the vacuum cleaner rotor, but it's not there. I guess he's just cranky.

"Dude! Take it easy!"

"Sorry."

I slowly turn him back around, and point him at the monitor. I click the URL, and show him the money shot.

"See? Isn't that cool? All this time we thought people hated us, but they like us, Wesley! They really like us!"

He is silent for a moment, and when he finally speaks, his voice is thick with emotion.

"Yeah. That's....well....that's really cool," he says, and I swear I can feel the penis shudder a little bit in my hands.

"Hey, Wheaton,"

"Yeah?"

"Can you just put me down on the desk for awhile? I've...uh...I think I have something in my eye."

"Are you premeturely ejaculating, Wesley?"

"Shut up, Wheaton."

'A "blog" is an online diary. Just because it's a "journal", doesn't make it journalism, by the practical definition.'

This is a Blog. This is a website with "mindless links" to other news sites and threaded commentary.

Does anybody remember when Wesley let a bunch of nano-bastards loose - and they multiplied like crazy, eating the computers and forming a big neural network that could talk?

Yeah, that's about as much as I know about nano-technology - and this article didn't really help.

pdate, he's home undergoing rehab for his bout of pneunomia.

Since he's apparently OK, we should invite him to do a Q&A on /. Surely Wil Wheaton or another /. reader must have the connections to get in touch with him...

Oh come on.. We all know you want more Jar Jar! :)

In fact, it will be observing a number of days of silence... quite a number so far.

BTW: Props to michael for the Simon & Garfunkel reference too.

Of course, we knew that but for those whose common sense can get rusty from time to time like me this is verification of it.

Wil talks about how they are getting the buzz out ( and it's working ) about the channel

Wil Wheaton [boldy going where no geek has gone before] is hosting a show on the G4 network

Um, mind explaining your sig? I'm confused.

Steve Vai is arguably the best guitarist on the face of the planet.

Wil Wheaton has arguably the coolest "celebrity" website on the face of the planet.

On his site, Wil regularly bares his soul, explaining his craft, sharing his views, and generally showing the world what a cool (or lame, depending on your viewpoint) person he is. From what snippets I've read about Steve Vai, he seems a cool person with lots of interesting ideas, but his website doesn't give fans nearly as much of an opportunity to get inside his head as Wil's does. Steve's music tells a great deal about him, but only in an abstract, emotional sense. I can't listen to "For the Love of God" or "Blue Powder" or "Melissa's Garden" and understand what goes on in Steve's everyday life.

My sig simply reflects that I think it would be cool if Steve bared his soul on his website as much as Wil does on his.

BTW: If you haven't heard of Steve, check him out. My personal favorite of his albums is "The 7th Song", which is a collection of his guitar ballads from across his career. Vai's guitar style combines the chops of Satriani and Gambale, the texture of Jeff Beck, and the lyricism of Eric Johnson. Sort of.

(If you haven't heard of Wil Wheaton, you are not truly a geek and you certainly haven't been around slashdot very long.)

Also BTW: According to Wil's IMDB bio he also plays guitar. Hmmm... although he writes about music all the time, Wil never talks about playing guitar much... maybe that's changed... ?

Any other hasbeens like clevernickname and john romero are invited to a bumscrew as well. After all, I am a hasbeen myself, I am Donny Most, TV"s fucken beloved Ralph Malph Alpha of Happy Dayz fame. I can get you Erin Moran's autographed photo, FUCKERZ, how do you like that. Yeah, you'd all like that huh.

Although the article does not mention it, Wil Wheaton is one of the hosts on the new G4 all-games network. As he describes on his website, he is having a great time playing games, writing and talking about them. A job many of us would envy!

So what is a 'blog'.

Take some time (15-20 min) and read it. It's NOT sameless self promotion and buy all my crap. I laughed really hard about his experience with Hooter's waitress & "Yeah, funny like when you watch another guy get kicked in the nuts."
