FFW unit generator
It is now possible to build Your own new units for FFW or for other games using the “Land Unit Counters Rendering Machine“.
Maybe someone has any ideas about some generic war-game rules?
Dot-Map generator
For all of those of You who wanted to make a small dot-map of a sector, just like the dot-maps of the dot-map version of the space atlas.
You can now do it with the new web-based dot-map generator.
Steel Beach, by John Varley
This book was interesting, but had really nothing useful for traveller. It was full of funny ideas, like what the nano-bots could do for you like sex changes and brushing your teeth.
It also had an interesting setting. Humanity had been thrown out from earth by some super race of dolphin lovers, so now humanity live on the moon and on the other planets, and were not allowed to go back to earth. The main character is a reporter, who is supposed two write an article series for the 200 year anniversary, since the war with the aliens.

Virgin Galactic
If we are rich enough we can go to space for real in 2007. 
It is probably a good thing that Virgin dared to sponsor “Space Ship One”. This will give the private space industry the support it needs. Hopefully some of the other X-prize projects will find equally good sponsors.
The question is, why have the airlines, and the aircraft industry been such cowards until now?
Good thing that Branson realized that there are profits to be made, and that it is one of the coolest private projects ever…

Take a look at the DutyFreeShop at the CotiBards. 😛
