Illuminated Site of the Week
November 14, 2009: Illuminated Site of the Week: Sun Of A Gun
Remember Rob Cockerham? We mentioned him back in January of 2003. He's the guy who wanted to become the super-shopper by having an army of "cloned" superstore buyers' cards all linked back to him.
Well, it turns out this guy doesn't have an "off" switch – he's always up to some prank or another. It all starts as good fun, but as the light sharpener project shows, eventually one goes mad with power. Now an evil super-genius, he turns his intellect to the task of destroying the world one stick of butter or can of cola at a time. See the many steps required to build such an awesome weapon, and tremble at the thought that if he ever figures out how to point it at the ground at midday, he can liquidate us all.

Warehouse 23 News: e23: Celestial Redecoration
Rocks floating through space are entirely too placid. If we as a species have learned anything, it's that we excel at making boring things more interesting. GURPS Spaceships 6: Mining and Industrial Spacecraft encourages you to go out into space, find something boring, and make it as interesting as possible. Oh, sure, you'll make some money while you're at it, but this is more about sprucing up asteroids. Really.
