Wil moved his page, but just a little ways. I think it looks better. Clean, but still with all the texty goodness.

Now, I’m going to say something and I want everyone to understand where I’m coming from: it startles me how much Wil Wheaton and I have in common. Now, it’s possible that someone who doesn’t know me might think “he’s just saying that so he can say he’s like some pseudo-celeb.” To that person, I will reply “you don’t fucking get it.”

It’s just — the geek factor on the site, the stuff he writes about, the things in his life with the step-kids and his wife… it’s just so close to home sometimes that it shocks me. His recommended book is Ishmael, for cryin’ out loud, which in my opinion is one of the best damn books about the human condition and our place in the world that has ever. been. written.

Differences: he’s ballsier than I am — I censor myself on here a little bit — I write, somewhat, to a percieved audience of specific people, and some of these specific people’s images sit in my head as a constant “are you going to alienate them with this” test. Probably not good. At any rate, I don’t think Wil censors himself much (except to protect his family, and props for that) — the shit he says about some of the other people in his line of work… god, it’s just refreshing to get the honest truth about guys who you just KNOW are dicks.

So… differences, but a lot of similarities.

Except he likes radiohead, which I do not fucking get at ALL.
