Things I’ve stumbled upon

A few weeks back, somebody I know told me about this cool tool called Stumble Upon. It’s a toolbar for your browser that chooses random sites for you to visit based on some general categories that you select. I have found a dozen or so REALLY cool sites that have things like remakes of video games I played growing up, or cool inventions people make. But, tonight I found something completely different. This site takes post cards sent in by people who have a secret to tell, but nobody to tell it to and they post them for people to read. It’s all done anonymously.

Reading these postcards was very powerful. While I don’t think I was near tears, it certainly stirred emotions that made me feel happy for some of the authors and sad for others.

It’s sorta funny how some things hit you when you aren’t really expecting it. I can’t think of a single topic that I would have selected in my “stumble upon” preferences that would have brought up this site. I’m sure glad it did, though.
