Now, more than a decade later, actor Wil Wheaton is wearing his geek distinction as a badge of honor. His self-coded, purposefully dorky Web site, WilWheaton.net, is attracting as many as 90,000 folks per month. And, the "enterprising" actor's Web site has helped get him back into the good graces of many Trekkies who dissed him for years. Wheaton, who also starred in the 1986 movie "Stand By Me," even got a cameo role in the most recent Star Trek film.
