I have no idea why the site was down for a little bit this morning…but Loren fixed it, and we’re back in business, as they say.
There is a really funny contest going on at Worth1000.com featuring an image of yours truly. You should take a look. It made me laugh out loud.
Some people have emailed me, asking about the earthquakes we had here last night. I didn’t feel them, at all, which is weird. In our old house, if a truck drove by a half-mile away, it shook the whole thing, but in our current house, we never feel anything. I was watching the news at 10 last night, and they were talking about this 4.2 or something that had just happened, and the newscaster says, “Woah! We’re having an aftershock!” so I waited to feel it, and I never did. I’m not too upset, though, because there are much worse things than living in a house where you don’t feel earthquakes. Trust me.
Today, at work, we turn in our pilot for my show. I am so excited! We’ve worked really, really hard on it, and we’ve created something that I am extremely proud of. I’ll post details, as soon as I get the “OK” from the Big Bosses(tm).
One last thing before I leave for work: Today is the last day that you can vote in the 2002 Bloggies, and WWDN is a finalist in a few categories. If you have some time today, you should check out the finalists, and cast your votes. I guess the results will be posted late tonight. Wouldn’t it be cool if we won something?
I’ve spent all my spare time in the last three days reading up on CSS (and getting some very valuable help from my friend Roughy), and I’m getting a very good understanding of the whole beast. Thank you to everyone who sent in suggestions for books and websites. I realize now that I’m going to have to re-write the entire site, which will be a bear, but really worth it in the long run. I sense great things in the future…stay tuned!

  2. You know, we midwesterners get all excited whenever the word “earthquake” is mentioned. We just don’t get them as often out here, so they’re somewhat of a novelty. It sends the media into a tizzy…
    “Stick with Channel 12! We have our Earthquake Coverage Team LIVE at various locations around Erie, giving us up-to-the-minute updates! Yes, we have a caller from Edinboro..”
    “Man, it was crazy, my bookshelf rattled and there’s a crack in the sidewalk, although it may have been there before. I’m not sure.”

  5. Noticed your site down earlier…while I was making my surfing rounds.Good thing I have Fark, DLSReports and halfhonk.com to fall back on so I don’t go into withdrawal. 🙂

  8. By the way…
    Hold your votes.
    When I enter, I intend to drop in like a hurricane house-of-fuck and I fully expect the voting support of WWDN.

  11. The contest site is slow, but I was able to view parts of it. Some of those images are so very WRONG! (Yet quite well done) I would not want to view those while in any sort of altered state. Imagine the nightmares.

  12. I could only see the first 9 pictures, all the rest were broken links. So that sucks. I have no photoshopability. So that sucks too.
    It was amusing, though.

  13. Holy crap that contest is funny…but some of the pairings are really disturbing, although Wil Wil Binks is kinda humorous.

  14. I’m your friends?
    That’s bullshit, Wil.
    You said we were dating.
    Now…
    “just friends”
    Don’t give me that “it’s not you, it’s me” crap either.
    Fine, just go back to her, but I was ready to leave for you. Don’t you forget it.
    The cheese never forgets!

  15. Wilbo Baggins kind of looks like a younger Rick Springfield.
    Come on Wil, sing “Jessie’s Girl” for us!!

  17. Weird. I was trying to post on yesterday’s comments and it wasn’t working. It refreshed and my comments wouldn’t show. Go fig.
    Anyhoo, just wanted to say hey for today. Anyone got BtG on tape?
    Good luck with the Bloggies, Wil!

  18. Alright, Wilena Jolie is just downright scarrifying!
    Jeez, I’ve still got goosebumps from that one.
    Now Marily, that’s not as scary for some reason. Which, in itself, is scary.
    I voted for WWDN in the bloggies, Wil. Good luck!

  20. Great, now that damn worth1000 site is down and I haven’t even seen one picture because it asks me for a UN and PW all the time. But I’m already registered! Can anybody help? Appreciate it.
    BTW, Wil, cool site. Finally an actor who does his own website.

  21. The worth1000.com site sounds interesting, but unfortunately it’s been Wil-dotted. Too many monkeys are trying to get into it, and their moose is turning them all away. Shoo monkeys, shoo.
    I suddenly feel the urge to play with my Sock Monkey now. 🙂

  22. Loren is the King :)!. If I acknowledged Spudnuts, I’d encourage him to let us know when his entry is in place, so he has our full voting support.

  23. Wil, if you’re doing the site in PHP, you can add something like this to all your pages:
    [HTML Header stuff here]
    <? include(“css.php”); ?>
    [The rest of your HTML here]
    And just put all your CSS info in css.php. Makes it nice and easy. Update one file to change CSS everywhere. (:

  25. If I enter the contest, I will win.
    Of that, there can be no doubt.
    But…
    Do I get anything?
    Or just like…
    Some kudos and shit.
    No store around here takes kudos.
    You can’t buy a cup of coffee with kudos.

  26. *smiles and nods*
    (points – has no idea what’s going on as the internet hates her right now)
    Good luck on the earth quakes anyways,
    The joys of living in the rockies is fun:p

  30. In all truthfulness, I have never actually experienced an Earthquake.
    Yep.
    I like to avoid confrontations like that 😉

  31. Wow, am I a lucky person. I have got to experience earthquakes for my first seven years, tornados and ice storms for the next 14 years, then Cleveland weather ever since. Still trying to figure out what ‘lake effect snow’ is after seven years here.

  32. Bad wether going all round, here in England we had winds up to 100mph, 7 people dies, and I almost took up flying, I’m serious the wind was that strong, I convinced myself that finally humans could fly.
    Scary.

  33. We had a major windstorm last month in Vancouver, Beastly. Sounds similar to yours. It was literally strong enough to knock you off your feet. Scary, because it makes you realize how powerless we can be in the face of nature at times.
    Our earthquakes here are pretty minor however. Barely enough to feel, and few and far between. Makes us worry about the big one though.

  35. Lake Effect Snow, for anyone who is interested, is the phenomenon which occurs when an air mass sweeps down from Canada, sucks up moisture from the un-frozen Great Lake of choice, and dumps it in the form of heavy snowfall on the areas directly in line with it. (This is why Buffalo got 7 feet of snow the week after Christmas.)
    Laura Lu, I’m from Cleveland, and I feel your pain regarding the bizarre weather there. (;

  40. I’ve been meaning to go to that Richland, WA Spudnuts, Bluesman. Just up the road.
    I think Wil should gather 50 of his closest WWDN monkeys, rent a greyhound, and personally drive them up there for hot, fresh spudnuts and ice cold milk.
    Not entirely sure what purpose it would serve…
    But.
    I sure do like doughnuts.
    Does the NEA give grants for such things?

  42. This is what I’ve been thinking all along: that we should have our OWN convention.
    With blackjack.
    And hookers.
    As a matter of fact, forget the convention and the blackjack.

  44. Hey congratulations on the Bloggie, Wil. I lurk but never post, but I voted for you and I wanted to try to be the first to say good job on a well done website. Salud!
