Postcard Wars

Hello,

It has dawned on me that I have ignored this site since the announcement of last year’s Postcard of the Year, ‘Greetings from Afghanistan.’ For this I apologize. It has been a busy beginning to the year, and yet you — my faithful postcard providers — have kept up your torrential pace. Postcards abound here in Washington, and these new additions will be added as soon as I can make it over to the college I used to attend and use the scanner I used to have permission to use.

In the meantime, a big shout-out to Will Hornby, who gets on the board with a contribution from Denmark, and another big shout-out to Elis of Estonia, making her first contribution, and yet another big shout-out to Sarka of Prague/Manchester, who has gained entry into the wonderful world of Postcard Wars as well. Thank you! Your efforts will be recorded soon.

And now to the point of this post: Check out this awesome Map Generator. Simply check the countries you visited, and the Map Generator will show you an image of how much of the world you’ve been to. It’s pretty cool — and humbling, for those who think they’ve traveled a bit like me. (My reaction: ‘Wait. What’s that down there? Oh, it’s the southern hemisphere.’)

Keep on keepin’ on.
