What's all that stuff behind me you might ask?
That stuff is my life! It is the basic physics behind the possibility of creating a WARP DRIVE!
Go around the web and look up things like Warp Drive, Miguel Alcubierre and General Relativity if you want to know more. Perhaps in the future we will have a discussion here about Warp drive theory.

The Galaxy at Risk!
Humans have come a long ways since the looking glass gates first appeared and an alien menace turned a motley crew of scientists, sailors and force recon Marines into battle-hardened space adventurers. Now with other species running scared, it’s up to humans to take the lead and mold a weapon capable of checking the Dreen—a galactic cancer that has so far proved unstoppable. Their arsenal? A hodge-podge of powerful technologies begged, borrowed and/or looted from across the galaxy and cobbled together on what has to be the strangest ship ever to ply the starways: the good ship Vorpal Blade II!
Great Ideas! Cool Space Ships! Evil Alien Butt Blasted to Smithereens!
“If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo.”
—Philadelphia Weekly Press.
“[T]his thoroughly enjoyable ride should appeal to techno-thriller fans as well as to military SF buffs.”

Did my 1st Marathon today!!!
Submitted by Doc Travis on Sun, 2007-12-09 03:49. hobbies | running | sportsHey All,
So for New Year's resolution 2007 I decided to run a marathon. I started training in Feruary and stuck to my running schedule all year. Even at Libertycon I slipped out Saturday morning and ran about 6 miles. Then mileage started to build up, Big Time. Sometime around October I started running 20 mile runs on the weekend, sheewww! I kept thinking, 4.5 hours, I could do it. Realistically, I calculated I'd run a 4:53 sometime in mid November. But, but, but, Oprah ran a 4:29, I'm in waay better shape than her, right? I wasn't racing Opray damnit, had to keep putting that through my head.

Submitted by Alex on Fri, 2007-09-21 01:39. NewsI've received several requests as to when the Manxome Foe eARC will be available. The answer is that I don't know. Toni Weisskopf, the publisher, has announced that there is one planned, but she didn't give a date. I'll post that info when I get it.
