(I know, I know, it's like the show is sending a postcard to itself. But who else does it have to write to? Original image here.)
Oh man, I wrote so many postcards today. I'm well on my way to carpal tunnel. Which is not to be confused with the carpool tunnel, which will get you someplace faster but you need to have friends to ride with, &, alas, you don't.
There's not much to say about postcards. We've been using them for barely one hundred & fifty years but they may go the way of other media supplanted by the internet. Unless! Has anyone thought of digital postcards? Oh, they have. Of course. No, I didn't think I was the first to think of it. I did not! I wasn't fantasizing about selling the idea to an anonymous corporation for filthy lucre. I was not!
On the show I made the promise that if you sent me an address to send you a postcard, I will do so. You can do that, too, if you didn't listen: just write gary at self help radio dot net & I'll send ya something in the mail! A postcard, I mean.
The show is available now at the Self Help Radio website. It's one giant file this week, you can see what happens on the show below. Username is SHR, password is selfhelp.
Do you have any stamps?
