It saddens me to hear of someone passing during a holiday season.
My deepest condolences to the Stone family.

Nobody died -- just my main computer at home.
Two days after getting to Albuquerque my PC stopped responding to remote desktop connection attempts. My roomie tried to get the computer to boot, but it won't even turn on even though the MB is showing it has power.
No way to resurrect it until I get back from Albq in Jan.
Sucks as all my writing, art and work stuff is on there so I'm pretty much hosed for now.

To any readers who were acquainted with PandaGuy, aka Jon Albers, he passed away yesterday (Sept. 30), due to kidney failure resulting from diabetes. He was guest of honor at MFM several years ago, and he never let his disabilities stop him from enjoying fursuiting and making people smile. He will be missed. _________________ mwalimu

Max Blackrabbit just returned home to Canada after attending FC.
When he got to Canadian Customs they confiscated EVERYTHING.
Including his laptop.
From his FA journal:
Quote: | Thanks to everyone who contributed to me having a good time at the convention, is was good to catch up and get some art and even art a little bit myself. Then I had to go home. It was the usual fair at the airports, I never had to strip down so many times for security and every plane I had to take was delayed. (equaling 12+ hours of travel)
So I'm in customs back in my home town when they decide to search my stuff. Not a big deal, I got nothing to hide, I've done this before. Go for it.
(I had received contributor copies of 'Untamed #2') and I thought they might have a problem with it. As sucky as it would have been, I'm prepared to let them go....but it doesn't stop there.
They look through my phone, my laptop, all my display and Zigzag/Raven sketchbooks. I still have nothing to hide but they figure it 'may' fall under the obscenity law in Canada.
So guess what happens?. they took it. ALL OF IT!
I got to keep my phone but all the other things on the list was taken, some other books I had bought at the con as well.
I know they were 'doing their job' and at least afforded me my dignity. (no yelling or looking down upon) but the "B" word kept cropping up. (oddly enough, so did 'anime', I guess they think the both as equals. I can say the guy processing me was trying to keep my spirits up and even gave me his number to call because I didn't kick up a (real) fuss and was super cooperative and declared anything important. As much as I'd hate to lose the books I kept saying I understand what's going on but please don't destroy the original art. I can get the published books again but don't destroy my art and computer. ( I can even replace the computer but I had a lot of scans on it from the con) I can even lose my adult display book (because somewhere on my drive I have copies but the Zig and Raven Books have original stuff I cannot replace.
I asked before I left if I was being put on some list. The guy asked 'what list?'. I tell him there's a list for everything. He tells me because I declared everything, didn't lie and cooperated that there's no reason I should but you never know with the government. He seemed to understand my worry about originals being destroyed but it doesn't matter what he thinks, it's up to these 'experts' thet the material is being sent to and if one of them is having a bad day or just doesn't like what he/she sees, it's done.
So i have a couple of options, I can appeal, which i will start doing this weekend. And after getting home and reading the form again, at my cost, can send it back into the states. Canada post doesn't want responsibility for sending it so if it comes to it, I'll see if I can use fedex or some other option.
Otherwise, it's all in a fire. Wish me luck guys, I'm gonna need it.
Oh yeah and my right eye looks like looking through a lens smeared with Vaseline, so there's that to take care of too, wish me some more luck.
Losing the job, losing the art, losing an eye....2013 is not my year. |

That is /insane/.
There's got to be something people can do to help him, if nothing else with the freight?? It if wasn't for Max, I would never have started writing. Good gods, I'd offer to pay for Fedex to take his stuff back to him out of my own pocket if needs be! |

Now that I have a moment to post, my condolences go out to the Yost family. May our thoughts and prayers help to lighten their burden through these trying times.
