    A Postcard from Tony (who the heck is Tony‽)

    I received another Postcard From The Internet; this one's written on a very unusual medium, and that's not the only thing that's odd about it... another thing is that I can't work out who its from, beyond the first-name-only with which they've signed the card. Who are you, Tony?

  • Both sides of a postcard. The text reads: 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. - Joe (ARTLUNG.COM). The front shows a photograph from a San Francisco street, showing City Lights Booksellers & Publishers' shop front.

    Postcard from San Diego

    Another postcard for my collection; this time from an indieweb blogger who was previously JUST outside of my circle - Joe from ArtLung. There's something in this.

  • Well my day, week, and year (which has been off to a slightly ropey start) got a whole heap better today when I received a postcard from August (@august@chaos.social) & Sappho (@kruemmelspalter@chaos.social), sent from 39c3 on a CCC postcard... with a CCC stamp (thanks, Deutsche Post)!

    Full image of Both sides of a postcard. The reverse shows a red-on-black illustration of the shape of a computer keyboard, superimposed upon the outline of a star, alongside, white text reading 'Chaos Computer Club'. On the front is the message: '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! August & Sappho @august@chaos.social (Mastodon) kruemmelspalter.org (Website)'.

    Super cool, and exactly the mood boost I needed today.

    Postcards... from the Internet!

    A few weeks ago I published a PO Box address to which visitors to my site can post postcards, to try to bridge the gap between my 'Internet friends' and the physical world. Today I received my first two postcards, and I couldn't be more thrilled (not least because I wasn't entire sure anybody would go for my weird suggestion!).

  • A stamped postcard addressed to Dan Q via his PO Box, showing a (badly) hand-drawn picture of Dan saying 'Send me a postcard!'

    Send Me a Postcard!

    Sure, you could leave a comment or drop me an email or say hi on Mastodon... but wouldn't it be cooler if you could send a physical postcard in response to a blog post? Let's find out together.

  • Postcard reading: Gran, Hi! I didn't know that you didn't have my address down here in Wales until my mum sent me an e-mail and told me, so I thought I'd send you a card and tell you what it is, so that when the money runs out and I end up in the eating-cold-baked-beans-straight-from-the-tin stage, I can phone you and you can send a food parcel... Only kidding. Course is great; freedom is better; ladies are gorgeous. Lovely place here. All my love, Dan
