Blogging an E-mail
Today I wrote an e-mail to Becky using links, like I am doing during this very blog. It made writing the e-mail more fun because if I was unsure whether or not she would know of something or someone in my e-mail, I just linked to that thing or person. For example, I told her about a dream I had where Christopher Walken was a conquistador. I linked “Christopher Walken” to a page listing his works from Internet Movie Data Base, and conquistador to a web site about Spanish Conquistadors. Not only did writing in this way serve as a means of information, it was also fun. I linked normal words to online dictionary definitions and wikipedia entries. I wrote about a friend of ours and linked to a picture of her on my blog. I did it using gmail, but I bet other mail services enable linking as well. I strongly recommend that everyone try it.
