whitereflectionBecause I am capable of thinking beyond myself once in a while, no really...
Periodically I talk about the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
iconomicon guy every once in a while, mentioning eagerly-anticipated updates or that I've yoinked yet more icons. Still remains my favorite icon community, one I check weekly (or a couple times a week at times >_>; ). Occasionally I wander over to his personal journal ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jackshoegazer (though I've not had the guts to randomly friend it), as he's one of those rare people that has intelligent, philosophical, creative things to say on life, and I can appreciate that even if I'm not capable of doing such myself.
He's going to have to have a major open heart surgery to counter a blockage of the superior vena cava. Basically, from what he's described, they will be removing a vein from his leg and doing a spiral shunt around the vein. It's covered by his insurance--but he has to travel from Wisconsin to Utah, and the insurance will not cover travel expenses or the hotel stay/food for after he's out of the hospital before he'll be recovered enough to fly home.

He's got a link for donations (above), with the added caveat that those donating 10$ will get a custom icon, those that donate more can get banners/headers, mood themes, etc. So it's a chance to help someone who's one of the good people out there, while getting a little something special back.
Anyway, if anyone out there happens to follow his work and can help, check it out. Normally I don't tend to pimp this sort of thing even if I've given myself, but as I said, he's one of the good ones, and I look up to him. So felt I should spread the word.
