Website of the Day: From a Birdie

You know the drill: you get a Facebook reminder that it's your friend's birthday, so you end up writing her an email, or you post a brief note to her Facebook wall.

You know the drill: you get a Facebook reminder that it's your friend's birthday, so you end up writing her an email, or you post a brief note to her Facebook wall. Rather than follow everyone else's lead by posting an impersonal b-day message on Facebook, why not create a collective album of online letters that you and your friends can send to the birthday girl on her special day? A cool new site called From a Birdie, which I found on makeuseof, is similar to the site GroupCard because it allows an entire group of people to collaborate on a personalized card or letter. But what makes this site even better is the fact that you can add photos to your messages, there aren't any size restrictions on the messages or size of photos, and the group album gets its own password-protected website. From a Birdie will email your friend on the day you choose to let them know they have a little surprise waiting for them!

Do You Decorate With Letters?

While the typography trend continues to truck along, a new trend of decorating with letters, often consonants and syllables from vintage signs, has arisen.

While the typography trend continues to truck along, a new trend of decorating with letters, often consonants and syllables from vintage signs, has arisen. Personally, I find it kind of cheesy to decorate with initials — a big "C.S." on my wall is just not my style. But I'd happily put a less self-referential letter in my home if it were eye-catching like this vibrant red T. Putting a letter in your home, even if it doesn't mean anything to you, is a great way to celebrate all of the serifs, shapes, and ligatures that make typography such an interesting art. Do you decorate with letters?

How Would You . . .

These Giant Orgy Letters ($1,800), which are actually Goodyear Tire sign letters from the 1940s, might give your mother a heart attack if you displayed them as-is in (or outside) your home.

These Giant Orgy Letters ($1,800), which are actually Goodyear Tire sign letters from the 1940s, might give your mother a heart attack if you displayed them as-is in (or outside) your home. But, let's not do that, okay? For this challenge, I'd like you to tell me how you'd use the (ahem) excessively indulgent letters as décor without inflicting cardiac arrest on your relatives and neighbors. Would you rearrange them? Paint them? Separate them? Would you hang them? Lay them down? Mix in other letters? Turn them into furniture so they're less legible? Keep them indoors or outside? Or is there just no way José that you'd ever own them? You know typography is trendy these days . . .

Children Write Letters to God

Found! Dear God . . .

Move over Bill Cosby.

Move over Bill Cosby. God seems to be getting an earful of the darndest things outta kids these days. The following are a batch of letters — or prayers — intended for the big dude upstairs. Some are thankful for one thing and upset about another, others have questions or make requests, and then there are those that shamelessly hate that b*tch Jennifer Horton. God understands, I'm sure.

Another Letter From Paris

Good news! Paris is practicing her spelling again, which means that she's written another tell-all letter to the people who claim to like her.

Good news! Paris is practicing her spelling again, which means that she's written another tell-all letter to the people who claim to like her. (We'll call them "friends" for short.) This time, Paris writes about lying talking to Barbara Walters, discovering that Jesus hottie, and all the "friends" she's made in jail already. Oh, Paris... (Want more? Click here to read her first and second letters.)

Paris plays pen pal to her friends again, but this time, via sidekick.

Paris plays pen pal to her friends again, but this time, via sidekick. The following email was sent at the time of her return to jail. Putting aside all shock and sadness, Paris openly wrote of her grudges, her new metal "bracelets," and the offensive smell of justice. Poor Paris. Only a couple more weeks to go!

A Prison Letter From Paris

If you don't know already, Paris was sent back to jail on Friday and given a 45 day sentence.

If you don't know already, Paris was sent back to jail on Friday and given a 45 day sentence. What will we ever do without her? Well, have no fear, because the first of her prison letters is here and, to my surprise, the girl's got more than a two-word vocabulary. Dare I say it? Ok, it's hot.

When you have nothing nice to say, take anonymous revenge and then confess in a passive-aggressive letter. Oh, and really emphasize that you're "Sorry!!!"
