Love Letters in the Web
I browsed a site this morning that really made me mellow, in that warm, romantic way. Asia Wong began a project to take love letters that she wrote, not only to her friends and romantic interests, but to total strangers and her "unknown" dream lover. Although the site is labeled "300 Love Letters," she actually has posted 400 scans of her letters, color coded as to their theme. Interesting catch, but you can spend way too much time here.
Hate spam? So does Tom Coates, who recieved an all too familiar piece of trash s*x spam, so he did something about it. He illustrated it. But not in the way the sender of the email intended, it was quite literal, and almost made me spit out my coffee this morning.
Oh, on the turntable this morning (actually the CD player) is Jackie Wilson, "The Titan Of Soul." Apologies to the Tennessee Titans. And, for the Amazon link, I wish I could say, "Personalities are often compensated for their appearances." Not that that means anything to anyone except radio personalities, but I digress.
Still cold where you are? How about building an igloo with your kids (or your friendly structural engineer?) Thanks, Alexandra!
The 2004 Bloggies, the WebLog Awards have announced their contestants for the best blogs of the year. Nominated for Bloggies this year are friends Michelle at Wind Spirit, the Daily Dose of Imagery, Jenn at The Scriptygoddess, Brooke at Brooklyn.org, and the group weblog, Put Down The Donut. Visit these great sites, and vote for them at the Bloggie site!
Finally, what Ferris Bueller character are you? Take the quiz. And, ask yourself, what questions made me come out of the test as Jeannie Bueller?
I want to thank everyone who wrote to me about my previous posting. You are also sensitive, expressive and I thank you for your contributions to the blog space. I'm off tomorrow, so I won't be here until Monday, and hopefully next week I'll post pictures to my picture pages on my web site. Don't forget that I also have a photoblog, and I certainly appreciate the wonderful response I've had to that effort.
