Since November 2025, I’ve solicited visitors to my blog to contact me not only by leaving comments or emailing me but by sending me physical mail (via a PO Box), with a particular preference for postcards.
This page serves as a gallery of postcards I’ve received. Any addresses that are not PO Boxes have been removed.

Kia ora Dan!
I was excited to see that you have a PO box alt address. Hopefully this actually reaches you unlike the last post that I sent.
I think I said in a comment that I read your blog fairly regularly. I probably check in every few weeks and have done since Aber days. It makes me feel less homesick and I feel connected to you guys even though I'm sure a voyeur.
So thankyou for blogging!

Zealandia <-This is where I volunteer most weekends. I am a proper bird person now. In my 40th year I have committed to this persona. I am a wildlife spotter on night tours (with kiwi pukupuku being the top goal.) I also help with both hihi and kākā feeding. I hope that one day you will visit NZ and Wellington. I'm sure you'd love Zealandia, they also do great vegetable soups 🙂
Lots of love from the Southern hemisphere

Hello fellow melonhead!
Sorry this took ages, lol I got sort of lost in the sauce* (*life)
I decided to try a simple postcard at first, cause I wasn't sure how your PO box worked, lol.
This postcard is made from the back of an empty macaroni-box from my roommate/sister. I needed something sturdy lol.
Anyway, have a great day! The sun is shining in my town in Norway today. Might go for a walk later.
Regards, grubbyfox @ melonland forums -

Hi Dan,
Saw something similar so I thought I'd paint paint you a picture of a cold giraffe.
Just a reminder to enjoy the simple things!
Love ya!

I enjoy your blog. I enjoy books. I enjoy using the mails. I love the idea of using proper mail to internet aquaintances. I acquired this postcard last year in San Francisco. I hope you enjoy it. Best.

Hi Dan,
my girlfriend and I really love your blog, so when we saw that you accept postcards, we knew we had to send you one from this year's Chaos Communication Congress - 39c3!
You're awesome, please keep doing what you're doing!

Returning a comment you left on my personal site, from my days of Twitch streaming I used to send out parcels to competition winners with a postcard. Anyway, here you go!

Hi Dan,
Just wanted to say thank you for dropping me a note about my RSS feed! I've been wondering why it was so unreliable for months - a rare treat to have somebody hand me the solution! Thanks also for the kind words about my website. :)
Best, Florence (bodypoetic) -

A test postcard I sent to myself, via my PO Box, to see that it would work as I'd hoped.
