  3. I thought that you chose WWDN as your domain name because wilwheaton.com had a squatter on it. In the article, you said:
    “I picked dot-net because in the original creation of the Internet, dot-com meant a commercial venture, and dot-net meant a network of people, or a personal thing or organization,”
    Was I wrong?
    Speedo

  6. I don’t really do anything on WWDN but lurk. However, I had to emerge from my hermit cave to thank you, to -praise- you, for the reference to Gonads and Strife. *Happy sigh*
    Weee!
    Oh, and spiffy interview, too!

  10. Wil,
    Lay off whatever it is your on. 🙂
    Then again I could use some.

  11. I can’t remember what I was doing on the net the day I stumbled onto wilwheaton.net. I took a look around, thought is was pretty cool. But then came a heavy dose of political commentary that was 180 degrees from how I was raised in South Carolina (yes, that’s right, I’m the one down here that knows how to read and write).
    Anti-corporate sentiments make me wanna hurl – our country is great because of two things: our personal liberties and our unprecedented ability to create wealth on a national level. As corporations are the soul reason we’re able to do that, I’m not anxious to see them abolished or hobbled in order to level the social playing field. Nader and Moore would almost certainly destroy them if given the chance. As America’s corporations go, so does America.
    But, I digress. Wil, you’re one funny mofo, and that’s why I keep coming back. Can’t stand the politics, but your personal content and prose are most entertaining. Keep up the good work.

  12. nice article! by the way, nice site and nice to “meet” you. i am one of the people attracted to blogging partly due to your site (mostly a friend’s site, which links to your’s). so anyway, i enjoy reading you.
    incidentally: i’ve never understood why anyone would bear an actor ill will over the way their character was written. have you really been harrassed because of “wesley”?

  15. Wow – that was a great article. You should be very very proud of yourself, kiddo.

  17. Yo muthafucka weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
    oh yeah and btw, I…. I… damn. I forgot what i was gonna say.
    OH YEAH, I was gonna say that weeeeeeeee! is almost as good as the sanity test.
    I’m too lazy to put the link so copy paste and dont whine.

  18. ok. yeah, I really need to just go to sleep or soemthing. I’m such a dork

  19. That was a cool article. I have to admit that the last part is true. I found this site because I was typing ‘I Hate Wesley Crusher’ in the little search box on google just for fun. I realized immediately how stupid this was. How could I possibly judge this kick-ass geek based on some stupid under developed character he had 15 years ago? If I knew Wil personally, more than likely he’d be in MY posse.

  21. So cool…spreading the posse love far and wide…
    Wil Wheaton, you rock.

  23. I stumbled across this site somehow from imdb…and I’ve been hooked ever since. I think what clinched it was, upon reading some archives, I found a blog about your dad being sick and your grandpa dying and this and that. And coincidentally, my grandpa just died and you made my feelings valid!
    Wow, never thought you’d have that much power, eh!
    Thank you for a great site and for helping me in some weird, non-psychotic way deal with grief!

  24. That first paragraph reminds me…
    I saw Corey Feldman and his band just over a year ago. They played at a small club in Seattle. I went because I thought it might be interesting to see what he’s up to, what kind of music it is, etc.
    I left 4 songs into it, I saw much more than the people with whom I’d come. Most of the audience was making fun of him or laughing at him. I don’t think he knew, I think he thought they were cheering for him. He was all rock — or so he thought. The blonde, breast-implanted, tight-leather-wearing women at his side, barely whispering their harmonies. The rock star poses. The spectacle. It was hilarious. Unintentionally hilarious. I really felt bad for him because, I believe, he just was not aware of the mockery. Maybe he knew, I hope not.
    Anyhoo…

  25. Great article.
    But what realy stood out was this ad on the same page for “How to build a web site in 3 easy steps.” Ha. What was the subliminal message here?
    Probably meant nothing but I just couldn’t resist!

  26. That really rocks Wil.
    You know what I just realized, and I don’t know why it never occured to me before, but for someone who gets a lot of “Where are they now” cracks directed at him, you sure get a lot of publicity over the internet…. Seems to me like your 15 minutes still hasn’t ended…. and mine is still yet to begin… lucky ass… heh

  27. Loved the interview. I came here because I have always thought you were a great actor, and now I believe you are a great writer as well. Keep up the awsome work. Love this site!!

  28. Gonads and strife! Gonads and strife!
    Thanks for reminding me of that. I had to watch it again. It never ceases to crack me up.
    Great article.
    OH MY GOD WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

  29. Wil, lemme just tell ya that you always manage to brighten the day, no matter crappy it’s gotten. You rock! Thanks!

  30. oh yeah…. and in respect to “weeeeeee”, Wil…. you have the strangest sense of humor…. and I love it… heh

  31. Hi Wil,i am one of the (consider myself fortunate)readers of the article on you in the montreal Gazette and i was glad to hear you are doing well ,apart from your little lawn problem .,try geting a big dog then you will really get some experience.,.,LOL one trick rather than go nuts is to lay down some black earth and then seed it ,if you have a pet fence it off and watch it grow,,,it will….
    One of the reasons i was so glad to hear you wee doing well is because i am a trekkie of sorts what with life and carreer it is not always easy ,,,(never been to one of those conventions myself).,.,always thought they would use your last story line for a comeback movie had it all worked out .Anyway .,nice to hear that you are happy and doing well .,.Regards Roy

  32. Heh, sweet.
    Funny about dot net versus dot com. Funny that a lot of people hadn’t realized that dot com meant commercial.
    I, too, have a dot net. But only a few people come and visit, so I dunno whether to call it a network or not.
    Wil can legitimately use dot com now because he sells shwag. 😉
    weeeee!

  35. That’s why I go with WooHoo!!! It makes a really nifty echo when you shout it from the mountains. (Yes, I’ll admit to indulging in this cheap thrill of hearing myself calling “Woohoo!!” from all of the High Peaks up near Lake Placid…)

  36. “spacesuit community?”
    Please tell me you’re not pulling a Shatner in the “get a life” vein. Otherwise, great article.

  37. That guy in the Bell ad looks like he’s having a little bit too much fun, if you ask me.
    I sent a letter to the editor asking him how come there was no mention of Spudnuts in the story.

  39. Will –
    You da man! Nice going.
    On a completely different note, I was just watching “Beat the Geeks” on Comedy Central, and you were the answer to a question. Weeeee!
    (Okay, prolly not a big deal, but it’s so cool to get to say “Hey, that’s the guy who’s website I go to every day!!!”)
    God, I am such a geek!
    Anyway, nice interview. Leave it to those Canadians. Next time you should do the whole interview in French. Those Montrealians would love you more than Jerry Lewis!)
    Steve

  41. Wayyyyyy Coooool WiLLLL!!!!!
    your so awsome! that’s why I come back for more and more…
    Thank you sir may I have another he heeh
    -No really congrats on the interview- 😉

  43. Well SOME of us liked Wil Wheaton all along! It’s nice to know that people are capable of changing their opinions when subjected to a little KNOWLEDGE. But the fact is, Wil Wheaton can save my ship any day!

  44. “And I thought you went Woohoo! because of Homer Simpson… ;)”
    Nah, I’ve been saying “Woohoo!!” for as long as I can remember. (; My friend told me once that she wouldn’t be surprised if they put that on my gravestone when I bite the big one. (Which, I’m hoping, is not any time soon, thankyouverymuch. I want to be one of those 100 year old grannies who are still doing crazy things like climbing mountains and such!)

  45. An outstanding interview. The Montreal Gazette is most fortunate to receive an interview from such an insanely cool member of the human race (there seem 2 b so few). You should do more interviews… you’re just as crunk as Keanu and Brad and Toby.
    much peace much prosperity

  47. Random info:
    One of the girls who works in the school club I hang out in has a new fish.
    She was asking people for name suggestions.
    My #1 suggestion?
    Wesley Crusher: Borg Queen.
    In other news, go Canada and crazy Canadian journalists.

  48. I could have told you that posting the Canadian flag (not to mention the bilingual version of the anthem) would instantly garner you approx. 15 million new fans.
    I’d personally like to applaud your attitude, between simply putting the site up, the encouragement you provide for political action, and even struggling to put in your own lawn; it’s obvious that you’re not the kind of person who ever says “don’t bother, it won’t make a difference.”
    And that is something all too rare today.

  49. “then spent his teens in a polyester jumpsuit playing space-weenie Wesley Crusher”
    Space-Weenie… Rofl.
    I dunno… I liked wesley

  50. [quote]I dunno… I liked wesley[/quote]
    Yeah, me too… but then again, I…AMStrange
