The first is something that I mentioned a while back, but recently I’ve been doing a lot of work on. I mentioned before that I was working on a Blender Game Networking eBook and I’d like to give you some updates on what’s happening. In a nutshell, the book has evolved into much more then an eBook. I’ve been writing and editing like crazy on this book and I’m pleased to announce that I will be publishing this book in paper-bound form (yippe!). The book will hopefully include a CD with demo files and extra goodies to play with. However, I’m not even halfway done with writing the book yet. I’ll give you a heads up when I get close though and maybe even open a pre-order form so I have a good idea of what type of demand there is.

The second announcement, I will be launching some really cool developer stuff on my site very soon. I’m developing some code generators for compiling Blender with some easy to understand documentation. It should be a nice contribution to the community, especially for those who are just learning the ropes.

So keep your eyes open for some really cool stuff heading your way :)
