New post from Panda Jenn and self-plugging and new glasses trial functionality added. Click the image to go through to the fully annotated version complete with full text and artefact close-ups
A REAL wall displaying REAL posts by REAL people
I got fed up of posts on my facebook wall, so I thought I'd close my facebook account and get back to my blogging roots so I set this site up to receive REAL post. From REAL people. Any post sent to me will be put up here and photographed every day until new mail comes in. Don't forget to click on each photo to go through to it's flickr page where you will find full annotations.

Oh dear, I hope nobody's actually bored enough to read my letter, good thing that I decided to cut out the rather long and detailed section on various bowel-related illnesses at the last minute x
Hey hey - you make two good points Jenn and I must say i agonised over whether or not to post the artefacts up. You can see the whole letter on flickr and before I posted it up I thought long and hard, especially as there are injokes and all sorts of personal stuff in there.
Obviously though I had to go the whole way with it but it made me think. Although the concept of a REAL wall and REAL mail is clearly different from that other type of wall, the REAL wall seems to engender a whole lot more emotion. Your letter contained way more than a wall post in that other place and was way more personal.
Interesting to see where this public display of personal information leads I think. Looking forward to receiving more mail. Look out for my letter in response in the post Jenn, I'll write it when I get some spare time.
Andy
