Furry News Vignettes

[Wanderer]

A few bits and pieces from around the web, posted as I find them.

If you're into rap videos with fursuits in them, look here:

Apparently we've gotten noticed... Greywolf help us...

Taylor Swift has fursuits in a recent video:

There are four furry projects recruiting donors at a crowdsourcing
website:

In lighter news, say hello to Faux Tails for the i-device:

They plug into the dock connector, though, so YMMV on how good an idea
these are.

Eurofurence 2012 made the photo page for the Mercury News on the last say
of August:

In the meantime, if anyone missed it, check out Dust: An Elysian Tail:

Created by one man in three years, folks... think about that when you
click that trailer.

On a weird side note, a fox and a boar helped three kangaroos escape from
a zoo in Germany... anyone know if they've found the third one yet?

help-from-furry-friends-79958/

That's as far afield as I go, though... I really don't consider the
upcoming "ALF" movie "furry" per se.

I've doubtless missed a few things. Anyone care to enlighten me?

(P.S.: Remember that Texas Furry Fiesta is coming up February 24-26,
down here in Texas. Sadly, no money means no Wanderer in attendance, but
(heh) please try and have fun without me. ;) )

Yours from far afield,

If Taylor Swift is doing it, can Kanye West be far behind?

The modern answer to antenna tails.

Not sure if it counts but I just spotted this on Huffington on a
controversy involving the use of carbon fiber blade prosthesis' in the
2012 paralympics:

You might recall the blades are designed to mimic the digitigrade legs
of a cheetah. It seems some of them might be a little too digitigrade.
