Next step, the mobile version is described at space-shooter-to-mobile.

Saginaw Malleable Foundry

One of the environmental/groundwater sites I spent a great deal of time at - it was the first environmental site I had been to while working at BB&L, was the GM Malleable Iron Foundry in Saginaw, MI.

This map shows the boundary of the property: wikimapia

Today I was looking to see what was still there and found little left of the place on Google maps, so I traced further back on the web news to see what had happened.

It's interesting that on the google map it doesn't look like even the environmental treatment plant is there anymore.

It appears that right near the southwest corner of the property is the Green Point Environmental Learning Center, which we never visited while working there.

Eclipse Phase: Space Trivia Android Application

I started working on an Eclipse Phase Trivia Application in December. I pulled the glossary from the PDF of the rulebook, and added to a fork of an existing Space Trivia Android project on github.

The Space-Trivia android project is on github.

To import the questions, I also created a quick and dirty Java loader, Space Trivia Loader which can take the somewhat broken lined PDF data and make it into a clean CSV file for use in the Android application above.
