BOOK
Just a Geek
- Just a Geek is a 2004 memoir written by actor and author Wil Wheaton.
- The book focuses on his life, blogging career, struggle with post-child-actor identity, and his love of technology and open-source software.
Connections
- I am mentioned multiple times in the first chapter of the book, which highlights our interactions and how Wil was reading my co-authored book Llama book (Learning Perl).
- The book also recounts my presence at Wil's August 2003 Powell's book signing for Dancing Barefoot (see Wil Wheaton Dancing Barefoot Booksigning), where I advised him to save his laminated table placard as a keepsake of his first sold-out signing. Wil recounts and quotes this conversation at length in the book's front matter, noting that holding the card made him realize the reality and profound joy of becoming a professional author.
