As BB readers know, Cryptomundo blogger Loren Coleman has been a generous source of fantastic information on cryptozoology, weird phenomena, copycat violence, and other fascinating topics. Professional cryptozoologists don't make big bucks though, and Loren is now in a tough spot. On a Cryptomundo post yesterday, he announced that he's forced to take a break from blogging due to financial hardship. Last month, Loren's co-blogger at Cryptomundo started a collection to buy Loren a new computer to replace his outdated machine. Now though, Loren writes, "Sorry to sign off folks, but things are not good. Forget about buying a new computer, I'm just struggling to stay online and keep the lights on. I'm serious." This is a bummer. If you'd like to help Loren through donations or by purchasing his books directly, there's more information at his blog. Good luck buddy! We hope to read you online again soon.
