I just found out a few cool new ways to send postcards from your computer or iPhone, iPod, or Blackberry. No more worries about finding a postcard at the tourist shop, searching for stamps or mailbox either.

For iPhone and iPod user, there is an app which lets you take a photo and send it as a postcard with a personalized message. But only for U.S. address. Check out goPostal.com

“Simply choose a photo, add your message, and select a mailing address. goPostal will automatically print and mail your postcard to your friends and family.

Each postcard costs $1.29 when using the iPhone application, which includes postage. goPostal also uses state of the art SSL security to verify that all of your information is securely transmitted.” - goPostal.com

We had a one day storm here in northern California. Not a real storm because there really wasn’t much rain. Mostly high winds and lots of fallen tree branches.  So I say, “Let it rain!”

The day of the storm wasn’t cold, temperature in the 70’s and a bit humid and warm then anything else. So it’s not yet time to take out the sweaters and scarves. Maybe next month.  But it is nice to enjoy the warm weather for a little bit longer.

What better way to remember summer, then images of Greece.

Seaside alley in Mykonos.  The contrast of the white washed walls and turquoise ocean is beautiful. What’s missing here are cats!  Photo by Marcel Germain of Flickr.
