Wil Wheaton

I think most people already know but Wil Wheaton who played Wesley Crusher in Star Trek has a website (www.wilwheaton.net) where he has a blog. In fact, reading Wil's blog was the reason that I started this blog.
Anyway, I bought Wil Wheaton's books (dancing barefoot and just a geek) a few days ago and I'm here to tell you that they are a really good read.
Dancing Barefoot is a short book with five stories from Wil's life. It only took me about an hour or two to read it all but it is well worth it. Just a Geek is longer - it probably is still quite short since I finished it in just a few days. It tells the story of Wil struggling to find acting work after Star Trek and how he started his website and where he went from there. I dont want to give away too many details because I highly recommend buying this book even if you have never watched Star Trek. There are many touching moments in this book and the ending is perfect.
I would suggest reading Dancing Barefoot first even though Just a Geek is a more complete book.
I am definitely looking forward to Wil's third book which he is writing at the moment.

Good news on the horizon?

So it looks like there's some good news coming. It means big changes for the website and I hope it will expand the amount of people reading the site, as well as expand the amount of content on the site. Also there should hopefully be a fresh stream of new content rather than the almost fixed content that I host at the moment. It's all very exciting and I dont want to give too much away at this point (especially as it could take a while to get this up and running) but I just wanted to let you know that something good is coming :-)

Down time

I just thought I had best apologise for the current down time.
My blog will return at some date in the future but I cant seem to find the time to post at the moment. Also I was finding it hard to post anything interesting so I need to think about how I can make my blog more appealing.
