Wil Wheaton Joins the Netscape Navigator Team! »
Posted by: ck 1 year, 9 months agoJason and I talked about it several times over the next couple of months, and eventually I got to see a preview of the new Netscape. I was really blown away by the changes they'd made, and their plans for its first year.

It was another no-brainer, and I accepted the job.

Dec. 14, 2006, 5:54 p.m.To the Netscape overlords: I am here because of Wil. Put a gold star next to his name for another member recruited. Good luck on this!
Oh, and Wil? Send them one of your head shots to use as an avatar... the one there now isn't the most flattering. ;)

Well, okay, and your great writing, and your good taste, and... you get the idea.
Congrats on the new job. I look forward to reading whatever you manage to publish next. :)

Dec. 14, 2006, 8:52 p.m.What I love about all this is that Wil is AGAIN proving that he's a multi-talented individual whose life is not just rooted in the past, but rather in the present. He's not a "character!!!!" in any movie, but a real, live guy! Wow, what a concept! :-)
