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

good news, everyone!

  • Podcast

Whoops. I misread my calendar, and this week’s It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton is not the final episode. And it is not the episode I teased in the blog post I sent out to the equivalent of a sold-out hockey arena in 1997, on purpose. Excellent! Print it and we are moving on!

So. There are more episodes left than I thought, which is awesome, and I am kind of embarrassed about making such a silly mistake in public, which is not awesome. I guess, though, if you have to do something cringey in public, there are, like … so many worse ways to do that. So, on balance: neutral awesome, can not use edged weapons for d6 rounds, save ends.

ANYWAY. Please allow me to tease this week’s actual story:

Get ready to meet three women who have come together with everything at stake, to literally drive toward a shared goal, without losing sight of their individual goals — or themselves — along the way.

I know I say this every time, but it’s so good. You’re going to love it.

Oh guess what? I just made my save because I realized that … from a certain point of view … my formerly-embarrassing error resulted in a double preview, a super sneak peak, a preteaser. I’m going to tell myself that’s clever marketing and take half damage.

Okay, real quick before I go back to watching the playoffs: since I’m hitting your inbox twice in one day, I may as well point you to this lovely video that Star Trek made when a bunch of us from the Star Trek universe went to Star Trek: Red Alert together at Universal Studios’ Fan Fest Nights1 last week. Watch it all the way to the end, if you want to feel some feelings.

Thank you for your patience with Old Man Wheaton when he is having A Day. I appreciate you.

  1. It’s such a cool event! The immersion across the board exceeded my expectations, and I can see this taking off the way Horror Nights has. ↩︎

    What, you turned out to be HUMAN and make a goof????

      That’s what my programming says, yeah.

    No issues, Wil-we all have our “senior” moments and some of them are beauts! Feel bad for the Kings after last night but the Oilers will get theirs at the Crypt tomorrow!

    I sure didn’t think seven eps had happened but it did capture my attention! So maybe you should do this same fake-out every year – make it a fun clever marketing ploy/tradition.

    That’s excellent news.

    I make mistakes in front of a very fickle audience (high school calculus students) errrrrry day. Own it, laugh about it, and move on 😊

    Sometimes being human is soooo hard, lol

    Check it out. You are human! Me too. Hate the long days when you are thinking of too many things to think clearly.

    Pfft. I still have a blog entry from 20 years ago I forgot to post on Geocities.

    I’m told there is no creative success without some cringe

    There’s only going to be seven episodes? That’s really too bad. I really look forward to wednesday commutes now.

    No worries. I think of the decades of joy you’ve shared and created for me and my family. One tiny goof you just turned into an awesome fun asset, ain’t gonna hurt nuthin; and, bonus inspiration point, for inspired 2nd post that was clever, honest, and informative. 🙂

    Great Video, thank you Wil!
    And also good to see LeVar on set with you! I’m glad to see he had to put on his glasses to read the display! 🤣
    It shows we’re getting old and wise.

    And blunder? What blunder??? 🤗

    Ok, I was not in a good place this morning, but that final second of the video made me grin, choke-up and wistful all at the same time. ❤️

    Looking forward to it. A line from last week’s story has stuck with me:
    “Someday you will be strong enough to withstand everything your heart does to you.”

    The video was so joyful. It’s great to see that even the people who have taken part in the series experience the same excitement as the fans.

    Fanfest video was awesome. Saw what you did there at the end. Feelings indeed!
    Great save!

    And then you went and wrote sneak peak. Are we talking about a slinky mountaintop? 🤪

    I watched the video and that final cut of you lovingly fondling your old work station made me think that someone is cutting onions in my house. Or it’s allergies. Or it’s the feels. Either way, good stuff!

    “Neutral awesome.” You’ve just made my day with that.

    OMG! That looks so cool I almost want to go to a theme park, lol. It’s always cool to see the old crew back together.

    OMG! You are human! Fantastic! I love it! This old Granny is so proud of you! Keep on keeping on!

    When I taught martial arts and a kid fell down, I always said that it happens to the best of us. And it’s true. 🙂

    Lovely video, and this week’s story sounds neat too. I might have to check it out. I admit I haven’t listened to any of these yet, because I just don’t “get” podcasts. I’ve been on them, but never listened to them. It’s weird, I know. But alas… I’ll try, okay? 🙂

    Watching you and Levar Burton having fun together in the video was the highlight of my day. 😀
