Oh wow, cool link. I especially liked the danger signs. I watched a show awhile ago about the homeless in train tunnels. They used Graphetti to communicate.

P.S. Do you mind if I steal this link? It's really cool and I want to repost it <3

the image comes off my pics.livejournal site, so I think it's ok for me to say yes.

stay away from anything with dots or boxes!

[wickenden.livejournal.com]

boxes don't seem bad...

these symbols look like doodles on your palm.

I have gone warchlaking, too... sort of hobo-signs in chalk to show people where wireless is available.

When I was a kid, I drew the kitty cat and attached it to our front fence for hobos to see. I figured they needed stomach-filling food, and would stop by if they saw the kitty.

It's probably a good thing my parents and grandparents didn't know why I hung the sign out, & that no one stopped by. ;)

A downright weird chick is what I usually hear. Heh.

Well, weirdo maybe, but it's a wonderfully sweet sort of weird.
