Wil Wheaton, who hated Wesley Crusher even more than everyone else did, has become a true geek idol. After his Hollywood career peaked when he was fourteen and basically ended when he left Star Trek, he has since turned into a writer. Just a Geek is the autobiography that details this phase, which started when Wheaton launched his weblog (which he writes, designs, and even runs by himself, as opposed to other celebrity blogs that are handled by publicists), and by now he has published two books with O'Reilly (beloved by IT people everywhere), got Neil Gaiman to write the foreword to one of them, has himself been asked to write a foreword for the Knights of the Dinner Table (which reminds me that I have to start an inquiry about the whereabouts of my copies of KODT [*]), has a clever nick name on Slashdot, where he has been interviewed (twice!), is a welcome speaker on conventions for all three big topics (Science Fiction, Role Playing Games, Linux), does voicework for and writes reviews about video games, and in the meantime seems to have even made his peace with Wesley Crusher.
