HEXplore It!

So I've just launched a new blog devoted to the board game I'm creating, called HEXplore It!

The goal is to launch my Kickstarter campaign early next year.  Before then, I need to refine the game and get some publicity built up around it. I know I can't do it without help from some amazing people, and I need to really provide an outstanding product too!

Here is the link:

Wednesday's Flyby

Looks like an asteroid came within one-third the distance from the Earth to the Moon on Wednesday. No worries though, it was only 30-50 feet across, and would have burned up before it struck. Apparently the next close call isn't forecast until 2024.

The line: "It is the closest encounter Earth will have with any known object until 2024." Seems a little gutsy to me... But then "known object" does give them a little leeway!
