Was thinking of using this as a reviews thing but then all the venom that that would no doubt create would cause me issues. Then I thought, what about your building projects, what about that? Of course that is an idea but it's not exactly what Beyond the Launchpad was set up to be. I'm giving myself a window until the new year to start thinking what next.  Any ideas - well, you know where to comment...
