What other folks are doing...

A friend sent me a link to the "Ironic Sans" blog, with a really cool project for struggling writers , a series of notes composed in response to noise complaints made by a rather eccentric tenant. My one word of caution: I notice the supercool teacher who came up with the assignment was from Gainesville Fla. I don't know Gainesville well, but if apartment living is not the norm there, the idea of letters from an apartment neighbor might have had some novelty value for the kids there that it would not have in Brooklyn. But if you're stuck for letter-writing assignments, it's probably a go.
