You Can't Stop the Signal
The first thing we'd like to do here at Firefly Signal is give a hearty "Thank You!" to [info]naughtyelf, [info]playfullips, and the rest of the gang at [info]the_cortex. They have done a fantastic job keeping the fandom informed of happenings in the 'verse for over two years and deserve everyone's respect and admiration for their continuing efforts during the coming years.

We at the Signal would like to take things one step farther by not only providing an alternate source of daily updates from across the fandom, but by also bringing to your attention some of the communities and websites out there that may have slipped under your radar.

We'll be spotlighting a different community or site every day, and if you know of one you'd like folks to know about, drop us a comment. We've also linked a bunch of comms in our sidebar. Some are fairly active, some not so much. But if you find one that appeals and start posting there? Who knows if that might not change?

In the meantime, come on in, take a look around, and then check back with us on a daily basis to see what's new in the 'verse. Like Mr. Universe said, "You can't stop the signal."

Community Spotlight
An old site that's worth linking is Starship Dimensions. As the name implies, they have starships, both fictional and real, graphed out to show their related sizes. Serenity can be found here and also to the far right on the 1X tab.

If you've not seen this site before, take a look. It's fun to see how Serenity compares to vessels from Star Trek, Star Wars, StarGate, etc. Not to mention a Boeing 747.

If we missed anything, let us know, and we'll include it in tomorrow's edition. You can comment here, or email us at firefly[dot]signal[at]googlemail[dot]com.
