50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

Look ma, I’m on TechTV!

  • random thoughts

I love that I can sit here in a hotel in San Francisco, scan for an open WAP, and update my website.
Now, if I can just have my damn flying car, the future will finally be here as promised.
So this is just a reminder that I’ll be guest hosting Screen Savers on TechTV, tomorrow (Tuesday the 17th). I’m off to enjoy this amazing city with my wife.
UPDATE 12:09 PM 12.17.02: Attention Farkers: I will be wearing The Shirt.
That is all.

    Yes, it’s raining as hard up here as it is in Pasadena. We’re in the midst of an enormous storm.
    Maybe I’ll have to watch ScreenSavers — it’d be my first time. πŸ™‚

    I LOVE San Fran. I wish I was there right now instead of in Toronto. (we just had our first real snowfall) Have a good time and say hi to Chinatown for me!!

    No flying car? What do you mean no flying car? I swear I saw one in that Harry Potter movie! And even in that Star Wars too! Doesn’t that mean they are real!? Damn ILM and double-damn George Lucas getting my hopes up like that…
    Must remember to watch TSS tomorrow…*checking TVGuide.com for channel listing* And I, along with everyone else, desperately wish to know if you are going to match their studio background with that hair B^)
    You are such the Big Pimp Wil…I hereby grant you full Big Pimp status with that hair…
    Keep it real yo…keep it real… πŸ˜‰

    I live around San Francisco (well, both north of it in Sonoma county and then south in Santa Cruz county) and we’ve never actually had TechTV on standard cable. Pretty annoying given its proximity to both its source of origin (SF) and silicon valley. Oh well.

  25. Keith in Montana says:
    16 December, 2002 at 7:54 pm

    Seeing the site of San Fran while a voice sings in the background,
    “I left me heart in San Francisco”
    No wait! That’s not just any voice.
    It is none other then BRENT SPINER!

  26. Christal says:
    16 December, 2002 at 7:55 pm

    Oooh! So many treats on WWDN. My PVR is set! I caught you last time when Kevin Rose and Martin “The Pimp” Sargent came to your house. That was funny. Boy oh boy I can’t wait to see you *the* *whole* *show*. W00t.

    San Francisco is the best city in the world!
    May I seriously reccomend Blow Fish Sushi, and come see my school play Uncle Willie!

    Hey, if you like italian food, try the Stinking Rose. I believe it is in North Beach. Amazing food. One of my favorite places when my husband and I lived there.

    Wil,
    The flying car is gone. We will just have to find another way to have a happy holiday season.

    Woo! I’ll be sure to hit the rain-slick freeways as soon as those little hands hit 5:00 tomorrow so I can speed through the storm with no thought to my own safety or that of others to make sure I get home in time to catch you on the show. Although, come to think of it, maybe I oughta just set the ReplayTV to catch it. Remember — we’ll be watching you!

    Hey Wil,
    If you get a chance go out to Bodega Bay while you are in the area. The Tides Inn restaurant is the shat. Oh…by the way, I caught some show on VH1 about shows that never made it, what exactly was the deal with 13 13th st? (or something like that) Heh. Sorry.

  36. Chris Walker says:
    17 December, 2002 at 12:13 am

    Ah, the Independant Republic of San Francisco. In case you need to get over all of that traffic, you can borrow Kevin Smith’s flying car at http://www.viewaskew.com/tv/leno/flyingcar.html

    17 December, 2002 at 12:57 am

    Wow you JUST missed a huge storm that knocked out power to like half the bay area, and most of that was located in Marin (located just north of San Fransisco, across the Golden Gate, home of George Lucas and his whole thing (including Endor, the planet the ewoks lived on, no, not muir woods, but a tiny place called Roy’s Redwoods πŸ˜€ ), Autodesk, and of course, ME!! πŸ˜‰ I higly recomend visiting it)
    Wow, that was a long parenthacie thing, hmm, and that’s not even a word, oh well.
    Wil, I hope the next few days are clear for you and your wife (just you wait, I’ll bet it’ll start storming an hour after you leave). I wish I got techTV, in fact, I wish I got a lot of TV that we don’t get, even with basic cable (the only networks that we get with basic I want is UPN and TNN, and since UPN is broadcast, we just use that), so, no Scifi, no TechTV, no nothin’ Bugger :'( Someone send me the tape? (I promise I’ll watch the comercials, well, I’ll get up and leave them going, like I do normally)

    IMPORTANT! MOJO NEEDED FOR A CRITICALLY INJURED BABY!
    Wil and Posse:
    I know this isn’t related to your TechTV news, but I need to ask for a big favor. I need the Wil Wheaton Posse mojo to get to work again, this time sending our thoughts and prayers to Children’s Hospital in Washington, DC. I read about this incident yesterday, (link at http://www.nbc4.com/news/1839227/detail.html) but I had no idea that my daughter-in-law Eve is a friend of the mother. This morning, I read a post on my DIL’s site (http://www.zenflea.com/index.htm) asking for prayers for this tiny baby. Her post follows:
    Send Your Prayers
    This is a really serious post.
    A friend of mine’s 6 week old baby was attacked over the weekend by her dog. He is in critical condition at Children’s Hospital. They need all the prayers and hope they can get, so please, I beg of you, even though you don’t know these people, have them in your thoughts?
    Every little bit counts. Thanks.
    End post from zenflea.
    So, c’mon, Posse. Crank up the mojo again for this baby and family.
    Thanks. I’ll keep you posted.

    Is the picture on techtv’s site from the show? If so, does anyone else recognize that shirt? :>

    oh and about flying cars…
    i remember a story about some people from another planet whose ancestors were from earth… anyway, they had magnetically floating cars. could that be actually done?
    or we could just get Robin Williams make us some more blubber… i mean flubber. πŸ™‚

    Go to Swan Oyster Depot on Polk Street. It’s the best for fresh oysters, clams, and crab. Have a great time in the beautiful city by the bay!

    Those Airport cards are pretty good at finding open WAPs. I used mine to pay my bill online (someone else’s online — I think they live in my building) when the ISP cut off my DSL.
    Sure, I know my credit card info flitted through the spectrum for a microsecond, but it was at least an https connection. FWIW. And there’s really no extra money in that account anyway — can’t steal what isn’t there. I snicker when I think of someone lifting my wallet. I think my biggest liability there is my library card.
    Keepin’ on. Yeah.

    I’ve never been to San Francisco…
    I never will…
    I’ve never forgiven them…for the death of my boy…
    No…wait, that’s Klingons.
    I always mix those two up.
