some random bullshit

Posted on By Wil

I’m having a moderately better day than I was yesterday. I’m not entirely back to my normal self, but the crushing, suffocating, relentless pressure around my chest seems to have relaxed quite a bit, which is nice.

I have a few things to share today, so here we go:

  1. Congratulations to my dear friend and co-conspirator in so many things, Felicia Day, on the announcement of her upcoming book!
  2. I sat down with Chris Hardwick and Matt Mira for a Nerdist Podcast that was just released. #TorsoShorts
  3. By coincidence, I got to fill in for Larry King recently, and I chose Chris as my interview subject because I love him. I think you’ll enjoy it.
  4. I narrated Cory Doctorow’s book, Information Doesn’t Want To Be Free. I’m very proud of it.
  5. I really like Non-Judgmental Ninja. I especially like that people are making their own comics.
  6. I was having a hell of a time getting a “watch my dogs be cute in the backyard” camera set up, but a mystical mixture of cursing, and turning it off and back on again seems to have somehow solved it, so that’s good. No, you can’t watch.

I think there were other things, but I’m drawing a blank at the moment.

  3. If you ever get the chance to save the Enterprise again, the “cursing, and turning it off and back on again” needs to be the solution to save the day.

    1. Actually the “turn it off and back on again” solution was used in TNG, when they encountered the alien weapons system and data had to reboot, Georgie essentially did just that

  4. I love non-judgemental ninja. I love everything about it. Put all the things people are sharing together into something like a book or a webpage please. 🙂 You’d probably want permissions, but seriously, an adorable book I could share with my students and friends would make me happy. <3

  5. Looking forward to YOUR podcast! Also I really like the idea of you doing a Larry King type show on G&S. I definitely think you should pursue this. I have no opinion on the pronunciation of gif.

  10. I am planning a RFB before the end of the year so that 2014 will not be known as the year without a RFB.

    Oh please oh please.

  15. Thanks for plugging Felicia’s book – I’m already excited for that! I’m picky with my audiobook narrators, but you are my favorite – so that’s on my list now, too. My favorite part of the Larry King Now episode was the suspender-swapping. Especially since there was no commentary about it.

    Glad to hear the depression monster has loosened its strangle-hold. I do wish there were a video of you cursing at the misbehaving camera, while your dogs swarm around, being cute.

  16. Wil please…im begging…misunderstood post got me blocked….huge fan…just want to follow. U again…twitter…I was talking about myself….awrencher…twitter….would never say neg. About u…block was crushing..

  17. I’m glad you’re doing better. I love the Non-Judgemental Ninja. Add me as another who’d love to see the comics in a book. Thank you.

  18. Thanks for sharing Wil. Sounds like you are finding joy in this season, which is what I always strive for myself and wish and hope for everyone else.

  23. I think NJN was a great accidental way to get people to think about what was bugging them/getting them down that day and realize why it wasn’t/isn’t a big deal. Just another way of taking ourselves a little bit less seriously and an other way to stop sweating the small stuff.

  24. This past weekend I was at Dickens Fair in San Francisco and saw Grant Imahara from Mythbusters. I grabbed my husband as I turned into a fangirl, and then had a major second thought about how to (or if to) approach him. We held back, were (I thought) reserved and very space respectful, and thanked him for his work which we totally enjoy. He was gracious, we didn’t limger. It was good, and I hope he was ok. But I never would have thought twice if not for you.
