Thats four L&H cards back from various journeys so far. I must send some more out. I have a whole postcard book full of them.
A quiet day scanning ephemera for the Frickr group of the same name. Found four "Lucky bags" that fit the bill perfectly. We had lots but foolishly left the sticky sweet in some of them and they turned to gunk with the passage of time!
Just discovered this place that turns your blogs into books! You can find it here.

Yes, this bloggin is a bit too compulsive isn't it? I should be at my work tabel too- if only I could clear this mountain of waste paper!
Turn a blog into a book...
Stupid! And what about the links? "If you press your finger really hard on highlighted words the particular link requested will materialize infront of you as a book. When you are finished put the book at the hyper-shelf and it will vanish."
Where are we going??????????
First the book and then the film, a trilogy ofcourse, and then the bloggerisation of the known universe! Part of me thinks it s great idea and then a little voice says, "But what about all the comments? Where are they going to go?"
jollyRoger...very informative.
It's all a bit scary to me, the
speed of the internet. Sometimes
I almost don't want to look because
I'd rather have the pleasure of
receiving it in the mail. But these
darn blogs ARE addictive...so much
fascinating material to see, too easily.
And now I've written my unbound book to
your blog, Michael. ;-)
O. I think it's great too. But turning blogs into books seems like inventing the... book once again. Who would read it? Blogging is meant to be fast, not too lengthy and up-to-date.
Better idea making books into blogs. Chapter by chapter. But that has also already been done.
But the book lives! And it'll never die.
The blog will maybe not die - but it'll transform into something else perhaps even better.
This is a whirl..........................
Turning a blog into a book is not a bad idea actually. Being a collector of ephemera and vintage photographs, I always wonder what it will be like 100 years from now. More and more things are on computer (digital photography, blogs, websites, etc.) which means less is being printed. I think it would be nice to leave a physical record behind for future generations.
I think comes down to a natural human instinct for survival. We want things to last and so try and make as many different versions as possible ( like the audio equivelent of tape,vinyl,MD,CD,DVD etc.) so the probability of one lasting whilst others fail is always at the backs of our minds. Who knows if Blogger will last? It could all crash tomorrow and we'd be left with nothing! At least with a book you have some chance of it being around for your grandchildren to read.
Welll.... to git back to this hear post card (which suck'zZ by the way, as all post card'zZ do...) I had fun altering it. And it is even more fun seeing that it has traveled so far and is resting quietly at "home" with A-1...
Let'z just keep blogging away everyone. The world, wars, famon, and strife be damned! (for tomorrow we die...) or something like that.
I think the happiest being on the planet must be that dear cat on the frips webcam. It never seems to move from it'z perch on the sofa... Dream on sweet kitty kat.
By the way... You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows... So sez a friend of mine.
Cheeeer'zZ.

That cat in the Frips webcam is obviously a fake or stuffed or something? It hasnt moved a muscle in 3 days!
no really michael, don't say that-knorrieworrie is really an active cat out of the range of the cam-but she seems to think that she has to pose whenever i put the cam in place...
