Found lists Read what you will into this collection of wishes, aspirations and plans - each more intriguing than the one before (if you line them up that way).

Linked from that blog, and of a similar "peek into another's life" curiosity, is FOUND magazine.

43Things is a captivating timesuck, as well, and provides some insight into how members of the hive are spending their time.

I recently attended a few Found shows, when they were presenting here in Chicago. I hope I'm not remiss in linking to my blog/site here, but I think the content remains on topic:

Found Magazine @ Intuit Gallery, Chicago (flash video, near the bottom). This show also features Frank Warren, speaking about his PostSecret project.

Dirty Found @ Corbett v. Dempsey, Chicago (flash video, near bottom). A sister publication, Dirty Found is just like Found Magazine only... a lot smuttier. I don't think these pages are that bad, but to be safe - consider them NSFW.

Bah, not a single enemies list in the bunch.

The real lists are better than the fake ones (e.g., "before I get pregnant")... I hope this genre isn't going the way of most things authentic and serendipitous -- when consumer demand for genuine stuff outstrips the supply, we just manufacture more. (See "reality" TV and "vintage" blue jeans.)

Nice link, and look! It's an allusion to an actual funny "Wizard of Id" strip. Well done.
