The one time in years I deliberately point people to my blog for ONE PURPOSE, I discovered that WordPress hid the thing I wanted them to see. Neat.
I noticed something about the way I read books, yesterday. When I start a book, it's like I'm sitting in an empty space, completely surrounded by the fog of war. Over some number of pages, that fog is pushed back and the world in the book begins to populate the formerly-empty space. Eventually, that space is on the other side of a portal that I step through as effortlessly as I open the cover of the book. I guess I've been doing this my whole life, but I didn't actually notice and note it until yesterday.
Originally written in 2021, The Ghosts of Christmas Past is a tapestry woven from painful and joyful memories that all decided to surround me that December. I've added to it once, in 2023, and I added to it again this year.
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, in the 70s and 80s. I remember when this kid -- who nobody thought could even make the final, much less win -- in the All Valley Karate Championship.

Good to hear! Still f@#king hate WordPress though. Been developing for CMS’s for a solid 8 years now. Always feels like I’m hacking things more than I’m developing with WordPress.
Ah. Much better.
your funny ๐ lol
Seriously though, does anybody know what’s up with this Kevin guy? What’s HIS deal?
:)) Well, you don’t know, but it was an international tragedy. Put your scale up a notch ๐
Aw, man…now I feel all sad that I missed out on getting to see just how bad it was…
Word on the streets is Mysterious Kevin’s parents were killed by a WordPress theme.
I’m thinking fan fic to learn writing, and beta testing to learn game design.
Learning the importance of humility.
Just a quick note, whatever I had done to offend you on Twitter I sincerely apologize. ๐
Did you at least take a screenshot so you can show those of us who missed it? ๐
“our long national nightmare” those four brilliant little word struck me right in the funny bone for a much needed laugh! Thanks, Wil for all the awesomeness you inject into the world!
#WordPressMageddon is over? That was too quick.
Classic Kevin.
Good job! I have a mysterious kevin too, his name is surreptitious john. He always finds software and patches at zero cost.
Sorry, I’m new here so forgive if this is honestly a stupid question. A friend recommended your work, I took a look around and liked what I read. I was ready to give you my email address and sign up, but I cannot find a way to subscribe. Did Mysterious Kevin kill the subscription box by chance? Or is the little check box underneath this comment form the way I’m actually supposed to subscribe to new blog posts?
Jen, try making a WordPress.com account and logging into WordPress.com before visiting wilwheaton.net, and then see if you can subscribe or follow or watch this blog, whatever the wordpress verb is. WordPress emails me when Wil posts on his blog.
Ah, yes, Kevin must be a god…like Steve, the great and noble Steve.. Thus he will forever be dubbed “the wise and powerful Kevin, God of Ketchup” cause, let’s face it, it has a better ring to it than “Kevin, Duke of Dorkness”. ๐

They are going to make bulletproof vest out of this material (one atom thick) so my dream of a world where bullets are no longer effective and people are back to swords and Kung Fu might become a reality. I also look forward to stronger tires for mountainbiking. The image says something about how technology evolves in this world of ours.
I am sad that I never got to experience the theme of much eye gouging. It will forever be a moment lost in time.
Hey, this is the first time that i have ever commented on anything on your blog, but i wanted to say that if you ever want a custom theme developed i would love to design and develop one for you. ๐
