One month ago, I stumbled upon a very interesting project: PostCrossing
Essentially, it is bookcrossing applied to postcards. What? Are you wondering what all these *crossing things are?
Well, try to click on the link above, or keep reading!

Bookcrossing is “the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise” (cit. by Wikipedia).
You read a book, you like/dislike it, you set it free in the wild, ready to be picked up by another potential reader. Cool isn’t it?

Well, postcrossing is the same concept applied to postcards: you send some postcards, you receive some postcards!
Beyond that, you request one or more addresses, the system randomly selects the addresses, then is up to you to send the postcards! Eventually, the more postcard you send, the more postcard you will receive!

I’m really addicted to stamps, postcards and postmark. Travelling around the world, I always send a postcard to me (this sounds weird, I know), with a fancy stamp, and a-not-so-fancy postcard, hoping in a cool postmark.
(Why I like so much postmark is another story… (please wait few days)…)

I just sent my first five postcards, and I’m looking forward to receive a postcard!

Happy postcrossing!

Ohohoh! Santa Wave is coming!

Dear folks,

apparently Google people are extremely generous to me.

Early last month, they sent me a full invitation (the one with 8-more invite to send). Now, I discovered 8 more invitation in my googlewave account. If that wasn’t enough they sent me another regular invitation to a second account I own.

Thus, here I am wishing you Merry XMas and giving away my invitation!

What you have to do

Send me a mail (yes a snail-mail or better a postcard, I love them) to this address:

and send me your XMas greetings!

The first eight people will receive a google wave invitation as soon as I receive their postcard.
Leave a comment as soon as you sent the postcard, with your email, so I can reserve an invite for you!

A little remark

Greetings From Google!

Try to be polite with the subject of your request, and choose a great theme for the postcard. The best of all would be one of these from Google, but unfortunately I do not live in US (but if you are and would like to be at the first rank…)
