Every now and then in my hypertext wandering I come across a blog which is great for forwards and in between emails and spreadsheets – which is why I’m creating a new category specifically for this kind of content called Hypertext Wanderings. For my first post on this topic I’m giving a link to “1001 rules for my unborn son“. No information or pretext on the blog except for the line “Let’s get some things straight before I get old and uncool.” The anonymous author posts rules/images/songs/ quotes he wishes to share with his future child before he gets too old and caught up in “uncool” adult things. Currently he is up to rule 359 and one of my favourite pieces of advice posted is “Dress for the job you want not the job you have.”

I also want to give a link to Found Magazine which are another great place to visit at lunch. They basically document people’s found letters, notes, items. Spending most of my time in front of fonts it’s easy to forget the intimacy and personality conveyed through handwriting. The bits and pieces featured give you a little window into a nameless faceless stranger’s life; some notes a hilarious, some personal and very sad but all are very human.

And one last link to Scanwiches – this one is a great novelty find and is pretty self explanatory; also good to get your appetite grinding. Check them out and look out for the next installment of Hypertext Wanderings.
