			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I, like any respectable geek, really dig <a href="http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/" target="_new">Wil Wheaton&#8217;s blog</a>. For the uninitiated, Wil&#8217;s the actor who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation, the young ensign that so many loved to hate. Except me, because I wanted to be him. Precocious kid on the same bridge as Captain Picard? Hell yes!</p>
<p>Not to completely brown nose—he&#8217;s not going to read this anyway!— but he has a fun writing style and a lot of good stuff to <strong>say</strong><em>. <small>(Unlike this blog.)</small></em></p>
<p>Anyway, due to his own admitted geekiness, <a href="http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2007/05/lol_trek.html" target="_new">he&#8217;s a good host to a lot of jokes made at his expense</a>, like this one, affectionately dubbed LOLWesley:</p>
<p><a href="http://mvarmazis.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/lolwesley.jpg" title="lolwesley.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://mvarmazis.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/lolwesley.jpg" title="lolwesley.jpg"><img src="http://mvarmazis.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/lolwesley.thumbnail.jpg" alt="lolwesley.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Yea, you have to be a bit of a geek to get that. But I LOL&#8217;ed. (If you&#8217;re somewhat new to t3h Internets: Hi, there&#8217;s this thing called <a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com" target="_blank">LOLcats</a>. And <a href="http://granades.com/2007/05/02/loltrek/" target="_blank">LOLtrek</a>. And even <a href="http://lolcode.com/home">LOLcode</a>. Everything&#8217;s funnier on the internet WHEN IT&#8217;S IN ALL CAPS LOL)</p>
<p>So I just want to give props to the Mr. Wheaton. He&#8217;s a geek among geeks, and <a href="http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2007/01/backstage.html" target="_new">he&#8217;s not afraid to share his life with the rest of us salivating masses.</a></p>
<p>&#8230;Would you rather I write about World of Warcraft? Because I could totally do that.</p>
<p>You see, most blogs are trying to make a difference in the world, I think. They want to say something of consequence, mobilize the masses, that sort of thing.</p>
<p>Not me.</p>
