Letters of Note is a fantastic personal project by Shaun Usher. It's a clean looking blog with some extraordinary content: historical letters by people like Franz Kafka, Ray Bradbury, Jochen Rindt (the only posthumous Formula One World Champion), and other celebrities. It's not all celebrities, though. The letter in the screenshot, for instance, was written by a bank manager from Hiroshima on May ...

Dear Meat is one of the more creative uses for Tumblr that I've seen recently. It's run by a guy named Matthew Hocker, and it features letters that people have written to things. Matthew curates the site, so it's not a bunch of random comments. I mean, it's quite random, but the content is interesting and evokes emotion. As I write this, the front page features "Dear Nipples," "Dear Tripod," ...

1HRmail is a beautiful, slick, and modern website, which lets you do something that is very old school: send a snail mail letter. You start off by specifying the addresses (both yours and the destination). You then click "Write Letter," and an in-page Rich Text editor "slides" out from under the envelope, where you can write your letter. The only language supported is English, but you can upload ...

For some people, the built-in Mail.app on the Mac is all they need in an email client. For others, it is frustratingly close to being what they need, but lacking in some key areas. The problem is that because Mail.app comes with every copy of OS X, and it's not a bad email client, the perception among the Mac development community is that there is no money to be made making a better Mac mail ...

Must Pop Words is a boggling word game that boggles the mind; it reminds me of a trademarked game who's name I can't quite put my finger on. The idea is that letter balls fall from the top of the screen, and you have to quickly type words to make them pop and disappear. The letters fall with alarming regularity, so if you're not on the ball, so to speak, your screen can quickly fill up your game ...

Email is a convenient way to communicate, but some correspondence requires the extra effort of a printed letter. With Snailmailr, though, printed letters don't actually take a whole lot of effort. Just enter an address, type up to four pages, and pay $1, and your letter will be printed and mailed for you. Does it still count as more personal than email when you don't have to leave your computer ...

How good are you at identifying well-known alphabetical characters and shapes? Well, I'm pretty good at it. I can even read, and stuff. So at first I wasn't sure how a game that had to do with identifying shapes and letters would be all that interesting. But what if you can only see a one-pixel slice of a letter at a time, and you have to imagine that that slice is scanning from top to bottom? ...

This is a simple and quick time waster for you word nerds from Lunchtimers. Or even for those of you that always like to slip a naughty word into a scrabble game. Remember those refrigerator magnets you had when you were a kid that were all letters? Letters is the same concept in your browser with one fun twist. Instead of just you playing with the letters you have to share with whoever else is ...
