beige_alertI just listened to the IT Conversations recording of the talk Wil Wheaton gave at Gnomedex 4.0.
Wil, of course, played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and even I knew that, though I was never too interesting in Star Trek. I was vaguely aware that he was doing the tech-geek convention circuit these days, but basically hadn’t paid much attention. I’m not a Trek fan, so ‘guy who played Ensign Wesley’ didn’t really attract my attention. I listen to all the IT Conversations stuff, though, and once I heard his Gnomedex talk, which consisted largely of readings from his books, I got a lot more excited. Fantastic performance. I’m going to have to get his books now, of course. (Sigh, more stuff for the reading queue...) You ought to listen (or watch, since video is out there, too).
