Good afternoon, Vault Dwellers.

It is currently 13.30h at The Vault, apparently the power-hour of brainstorming activity. Outside the security door, the sun is peeping through a blanket of thick, gray clouds, and the air is mighty warm.

But, petty weather is not why I'm broadcasting this message. 'cause, heck, weather doesn't even affect us in the oh-so-glorious Vault. The true reason I'm sending this message, is to inform all you wonderful Vault citizens of some updates.

First off, the Weekly Guest Column feature is turning out good so far. I've had numerous people sending me in great columns. Don't fret, though: you still have until tomorrow at 10.00h Mountain Time to have your entries in!

Secondly, the other feature announced yesterday, the Vault Dwellers' Society, is soon to be in full-swing. I'm just finalizing a few of it's features; expect to see that up in a few days. And remember, citizens, you can start sending your applications for the VDS, so get 'em in!

And finally, I have another new feature to announce: the Weekly Interview Spotlight! Once a week, I'll select a topic, review the week's applications for interviewees, and select one lucky winner to be interviewed on the chosen topic! Feedback and applications are much appreciated!

With all that said and done, I must leave; apparently a few Radroaches got in the reactor shaft, and must be dealt with.

Until next time BZP,

CJ.
