It took longer than expected to write 400 postcards; we just sent out the very last of them today. However, exciting news comes through the airways that some of you have received yours and are getting ready to jump into your task and send us pics. Yay! 

In about a month, say, around April, we’ll be posting the submissions online (quite possibly a separate site devoted to creative thinking and whatnot) so that you can see what others have done, and also follow along as we plan the next round of ”the postcard says” (it probably won’t involve writing another 400 of them though). And we’ll also include instructions for those of you who don’t get a postcard but want to be a part of this too. So stay tuned!

Update, March 1st: We hear that the bulk of the postcards are just arriving! We’ve decided not to show any previews of the submissions we’ve already received because there’s no right or wrong way to do each postcard task. Even if you’re not sure of the instructions, just do whatever you think it says, your way. Remember, the point of all this is for you to be nudged a little out of your comfort zone to think and see the world around you in a different way. Have fun and remember to share with us what you do!
