Postcard fiction challenge finals
2009-09-19 00:09:00 I issued a challenge, and that challenge was to write flash fiction based upon a very specific bottlecap photo. Readers dear, you are some talented folks, and picking top picks was positively painful. I recruited help, to keep things fair, and we still only narrowed it down to four entries. So, I'm turning to you! Please vote in the comments section and let's see who took this challenge....
Postcard fiction writing prompt: bottlecap
2009-09-16 12:45:00 Hemingway said a story could be written in a little as six words, and used the example "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." to make his case.In 100 words or less, write for us a postcard fiction story-- that is, a micro-flash fiction story, a very, very short story, but a whole story-- in the comments section. Your story must feature this particular bottlecap in some way, but otherwise can be about absolutely anything at all. The winner will be profiled in an upcoming post. Ready, set, go!...

Punting collages & that postcard feel
2009-02-09 04:48:00 I do like the new picasa collage features, the picture pile with the normal photo boarders gives the collage a real postcard feel. Perfect to bring many aspects of an event or pleasant day out into one unified image. Photo collages are a great albeit informal way to present collections of snaps. You can do it the old fashion way, print out the images and assemble with scissors and paste, buy on of the photo collage frames (usually with pre-cuts mats) or use one of the newer photo collage and poster printing services available from a lot of digital photo processing centers these days. Speaking of new photo processing services, more and more services are providing square formats on blow ups and even canvas prints. A collection of square images can make a wonderful wall display.

The "Vote" Postcard
2008-10-10 06:30:00 I was requested to post this. At this time OSHNA has also sent out an official "bungalow alert" as a disclaimer stating as much.OSHNA Board,The ?Vote? postcard delivered today raises some very serious concerns about the integrity of OSHNA. The main issue is not that it went out nor that it appears that the recipients are members of the association, the later is of course of concern. However, my main concern is that the postcard appears to be coming from the Old Seminole Neighborhood Association itself. As I am sure that this is not the case I am requesting that the Board communicate with the membership the following:?If you received a ?Vote? postcard in the mail the Association wants to assure you that the Association did not pay for nor does the Association in any way promote the information provided in the postcard. The Association has a long history of not endorsing any candidate for the Executive Board of the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association and as such the contents...

Postcard From Beijing: Home Of Clean Air And Cheap Beer.
2008-08-20 08:42:00 Just got an email from my friend and blogger extraordinaire, Ben Ross. I thought it did a nice job encapsulating what is going on in Beijing these days and after I secured his permission to post it, here goes: Just wanted to give everybody a quick update from Beijing. For starters, this has probably been the most enjoyable week I have ever spent in the Chinese capital. The Olympics are in full swing, and although I never thought I'd say this…I hope they never end. I've been spending much of the past week enjoying clean air, drinking cheap beer, and watching world class athletes compete for the price of upper-deck Royals tickets. As I'm sure you have probably heard, starting July 20 the local government closed most factories around the outskirts of Beijing. They also implemented a new system where private cars could only drive every other day, based on their license plate numbers. The impact of the traffic regulations were immediate. (Chicago could really use a rule lik...

Boracay's Postcard-Perfect Diniwid Beach
2008-06-09 16:27:00 Hidden from Boracay's main White Beach by a cliff, Diniwid Beach is a secluded beach strip that offers more privacy to visitors unlike the crowded White Beach. It's a favorite destination of Europeans if they're not into the windy feel of Bulabog Beach and looking for a homey vacation place.The most prominent landmark of the beach is the exlcusive Nami Private Villas with majestic view of the place and the sea that you also see in postcards.picture of Diniwid Beach with Nami Private Villas in the backgroundit's on this beach where Caucasian tourists stay. at times, you won't feel you're in the Philippines with bikini babes frolicking or just walking on the beachLess commercialized and not crowded, the beach has its share of commercialism, though a simple ambulant vendor of ice creamThis is the recommended beach on Boracay Island that's away from the crowd, yet so near the commercialized place.---Resorts on Diniwid Beach:Nami Private Villas (namiboracay.ph)Microtel Inn & Suite...
Free 10 Episodes of Building a Successful Real Estate Postcard Campaign
2008-06-07 06:13:00 Build your own direct mail campaign. http://www.easymailmaker.com Intro to Postcard Marketing How can a little 5.5"x 4.25"piece of paper bring you money? Hard to believe but it is true. There are so many gadgets and flashy web ideas out there to spend money on that we forget about something that is so simple and relates to people. Think about it. We all grew up just receiving mail from the postman. Not e-mail, not a web card, just good ole fashion mail. If you relate to that then I know your customers will too. There is a certain comfort level when you reach into the mail box because it's a ritual that you've grown up with. That's why Postcard Marketing is a big hit and can get the job done. Not so fast, I don't want you to get ahead of yourself. It takes time, repetiveness and a bit of money to get the postcard train rolling. I want to walk you through the process but am going to break it up so you can really get a grasp and go in with the...

And may I say, you guys outdid yourselves! You have made my day! Felicia is in Montana, and she sent this beautiful card depicting the “Big Sky Country”. Her message reads: In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those who kindle the inner spirit. ~ Albert Schweitzer Thanks Felicia! That is beautiful! Knowing you is definitely a spirit-kindling experience. Lisa, a fellow Juice Feaster from Texas, sent both a card and a postcard. She chose a message from a Louise L. Hay Wisdom Card. It says: I am good enough. I am not restricted by old, limiting beliefs from family or from society. Thank you, Lisa. That’s an affirmation I really need to repeat daily. I love the bluebonnets! ...

Very Important, Fatal Postcard Virus Modified, Know What NOT TO OPEN!
2008-04-20 21:26:00 This is super-important, please read this because you may be seeing an e-mail like this within the next few days! Several days ago, I received an e-mail forward from a family member that warned of a Real Virus Alert, saying get this e-mail message around to your contacts ASAP. You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an attachment entitled POSTCARD, regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens a POSTCARD IMAGE, which burns the whole hard disc C:/ of your computer. I checked with Snopes and it was something that was reported there almost a year ago (June of 2007). But, lo and behold, in our general inbox today (not our Bulk & Spam Mail), we received an e-mail called You have received a card from a family member. The subject is now modified and doesn't include "postcard" until you open the message.

Vote for Obama: Postcard Writing Campaign. Adopt this Campaign for Your Ar
2008-03-12 23:44:00 Pass It On: Write Postcards for Barack If you want to participate or if you want to help coordinate postcard writing in your area, send us an e-mail at info@womenpassiton.org Here is how to participate in 3 easy steps: STEP ONE: Individually or with other women in your community, purchase 10 or more postcards for each of you to write along with postcard stamps. If possible, purchase postcards that represent your city or state. HU note: for those of us in New York City, postcards showing other things or places would be better, though I'm kinda partial to those that show the Statue of Liberty. The federal court has ruled it's in New Jersey anyway. STEP TWO: If writing postcards in a group, you might have a Postcard Party to get them all written and posted at the same time. Each postcard message should be brief and to the point - no more than 2-4 sentences. Here is a sample message: Dear Fellow Voter, I voted (or I am voting) for Barack Obama for P...
