So first off, I guess it was Wil Wheaton’s birthday on Tuesday (he’s so shy about it). He’s a square 36 years old–Happy Birthday!
In case there was any question that Star Trek (including Wheaton’s The Next Generation) continues to hold sway over all of geekdom, the following pix from last week’s Comic-con convention should clear that up. There seems to have been good representation across its many incarnations (6 series and 726 episodes in all).
Since I couldn’t make it to San Diego this year, I am instead window-surfing as it were, watching everybody else’s geeky good time via Flickr. Yes, I’m jealous of Eddie. Here’s a sampling of Trekkie treats I’ve found…

Wil is sporting a Soma FM shirt! Cool!
I am Karen Giorgio, “The Piano Lady”, who played “Ain't Misbehavin” for Jonathan Frakes at the recent 2008 Comic Con Convention. I am at the Westgate Hotel where entertain every Saturday night. It was a wonderful crowd that gathered in the Plaza Bar the entire magical Saturday night. They went wild when Frakes sang with me. Thank you all for being so respectful to the “Piano Lady”!!! I just wanted you to know my name and please come visit me again, an also my web site Karengiorgio.com
