Raincity's Aaron Wheeler Gives Props To The Postcard

How do you tap into your creative self? When Aaron is not programming in Ruby, he's making postcards.

What Are The Benefits?

• Impress your in-laws
• To GET postcards (although this never really happens)
• To feel good about yourself :)

A Few Tips & Ideas:

• Write anonymous postcards - it's fun and makes you feel good
• Narcissistic postcards - Instead of "Missing You Honey", try "All About Me" as your cover tagline.
• Send personalized Christmas postcards
• Doctor old family photos with your own face and stick it on a postcard
• Use rubber cement
