Oh, duh....

That's why Corey Feldman looked so familiar, when I watched "The Goonies"; he was in "Stand By Me." I knew I recognized him. *slaps forehead*

Tangentially, Wil Wheaton's got a blog, if anyone's interested.

Is this the same Wil Wheaton from Star Trek fame?

[darcydodo]

Yup. Also in "Stand By Me" (which I'd never twigged to), hence the connection.

There's an LJ feed, too, at

Although you only seem to get the first line or so of his post, and a link to the blog itself.

Wil Wheaton! Wesley!

[darcydodo]

Huh?

star trek. :)

I always hated Wesley Crusher, because he was *so* annoying. But Wil Wheaton seems pretty cool. He's apparently brilliant in person, according to two of my friends who met him, and has a great sense of humour. And he has good taste.

[darcydodo]

Yes, I realized that while I was riding my bike to campus... I was like, oh, Wesley Crusher. 'Cause generally, if someone says Wesley, these days I either think of Wesley from BtVS/AtS, or I think someone's misspelling Westley. ;)

But really, I knew that. :)

I think Wil Wheaton was one of the first celebrity bloggers, if not the first. For that matter, he may have been one of the first bloggers, period. I learned about him in the context of blogging, not Star Trek. :)

He does seem to have been about a year ahead of Neil Gaiman, with respect to the celebrity thing. But probably not exactly one of the first bloggers; he started blogging in 2000, and even just lj has been around since 1999; and lj wouldn't have been started in the form it was if there was already a pretty strong trend of blogging.

He's all grown up! Receding hairline and all!
