Go forth and fill your libraries with media.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.
We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being so patient.

The Amazon Conduit will be working again on October 15, 2009. Thank you to everyone for your patience.
Have a great weekend,
daisy, Team Vox
The best picture I took all weekend and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Atlanta.
In my last Team Vox post, I let you know that we're aware that the Amazon conduit is broken and that we're working to fix it. Many of you want to know when it's going to be fixed and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you about that sooner.
Unfortunately, I don't have an exact date to give you, but rest assured, the Amazon conduit will be fixed in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, I'm about to finish my latest book and I could use a few suggestions as to what to read next, so... if you don't mind, let me know in the comments what's on your nightstand and/or what book you think I absolutely must read next.
Thanks! :)
Some of you may have noticed that right now you cannot add books from Amazon to your Vox library. Giving people a glimpse into what's on your night stand is important to many of you, so I just wanted to reassure you that we are doing our best to get this bug fixed. I'll keep you posted.
So sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope you have a great weekend!

I think I've come down with a case of post-con SARS, so this will be short. Comic-Con, as usual, didn't disappoint. Highlights included catching the panels for Legion (angels with machine guns), District 9 (wassup Peter Jackson), Extract (Jason Bateman hollerifyouhearme), Zombieland (hella violent), 2012 (it's the end of the world as we know it), Iron Man 2 (Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle and Sam Rockwell in the same room? Yes, please, may I have another? Also, that movie is going to be hellatight.com/cantwait) and hearing Kevin Smith talk about the moistness of the Twilight room from last year as well as reenact a hockey locker room circle jerk/bukkake scene on stage. I love that guy.
Hammed it up for a bit as Flora The Good Fairy from Sleeping Beauty with AJ and Judy and it never ceases to amaze me how popular we are in those things. The amount of excitement and joy we get from people while we're out in about is damn near contagious. (Much like this cold I think I have.)
Thanks to a tip from a friendly girl who was waiting in line with me, I got to see the touring Alice in Wonderland exhibit as well. Originally promoted via Twitter, you had to go to an off-site location to pick up a ticket (in this case, a rusty brass key attached to a tag) which gave you a time to return to go on your tour. Rather than talk more about it, how about I just show you pics?
Life ain't so bad at all...
I don't even know if I can express how I'm feeling right now about the passing of Michael Jackson. As someone that grew up listening to his music and other artists who were influenced by him, his work served as the background music to many of my memories. Regardless of what happened in his personal life, I hope that people remember him for his talent and his ability to unite people regardless of race, age or language through his music.
I will be tearing up a dance floor tonight in celebration of his life and I know I will not be the only one.
Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson!
