    Another voice to wish you hawesome HBD!!!
    Is this the year that we can officially dub thee “Grand Master Geek of the Highest Order”? Or do I still have to keep that to myself?

    I can’t believe we all know it’s your birthday. What a bunch of geeks. Happy Birthday Man!!

    Normally I think beards only suit fat men because it helps hide their multiple chins (a`la kevin smith) but you look bad ass.
    And a Happy Birthday to you too good sir!

    Happy Birthday to you Wil..and how cool is it that you share a birthday with NASA. Hope your day is filled with laughter and love and much happiness.

    “Day” is a vestigial mode of time measurement, based on solar cycles. It’s not applicable…I didn’t get you anything.

    Wil looks badass?

    You also share a birthday with another of my favorites, Tim Gunn.

    Great pic, and Happy Birthday. Hope you get to relax with a pint or two (or three) of Guinness, maybe a nice cigar on the porch at the end of the day.

    Even when I thought I was the first one in the past, I wasn’t, so this year I decided not to sweat it, and just recognize that a heartfelt HAPPY BIRTHDAY is a nice thing any time of day – just especially nice from the nearest and dearest right away, which surely you got. 🙂
    Congrats on making Comic-Con and also on Ryan’s great maturity. (We’ll try not to embarrass him by raving over it too much; like you, we already knew he was pretty cool.)

    Happy birthday dude. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.

    I did get my copy of Happiest Days last night and couldn’t help but read it all in one gulp.
    Despite all my best intentions, that’s exactly what I did, too! Irresistible. I even took it in my car to somewhere I knew I wouldn’t get to look at, which was, ironically, a voice-acting Meetup.
    Funny enough, I was about to post this remark when a Digsby pop-up told me that after all these weeks, Wil just collected his PayPal money from me. Good deal.

    With apologies to the photographer, I just couldn’t resist a little photoshop action:

    It just looked so much like a campaign shot…

    Mattbeck,
    One of my children took one look at that, and thrust her fist into the air, and yelled, “Yes, We Can!!” LOL
    Good job!

    Hey, Wil, did you produce that earthquake for your birthday?? Seriously, I hope everyone is ok up your way. I just felt my desk shake.

    I was registered on the old WWdN decades and decades ago, but never bothered on here after the soapbox went away. However, the scruffy beard shot is so hot that it inspired me to finally acquiesce and register for a TypePad account. That’s some serious hotness.
    And happy birfday!

    Does it look to anybody like the pictures of hockey players that come up on the screen at the stadium?
    Anyway, happy birthday, “Number 36…Wiiiiil Wheatonnn!!!!”

    Just wanted to add to the Happy Birthday wishes of everyone else.
    Next year you can tell people that “I’m not old! I’m 37.” Which has so far been the highlight of my turning 37 in June. 🙂

Drops Dark Side of the Moon hat in honor of your glorius B-day , earthquake , and the man garden upon your face! We gots to keep our faces warm yo! LOL!
