I am back after 4-year hiatus!

ANY POSTCARD IS OK. You can send any kind of postcard with a good taste but it can be tasteless as well - postcard with a twist. You can surprise me! You may read about myself and my interests below or look at my favourites on the Postcards Wall, if you want more personal choice.

I am software engineer - ICT professional. Hobbies: travel, movies, reading (incl. comics), music and winter swimming. Fan of black humour, sarcasm, irony and witty quotes. Interested in popular culture in general. Special interest in space technology.

I like also retro/vintage cards, art, humour, science fiction. Weird, strange things as every day is. Wacky tacky bizarre kitsch. The list below are only suggestions, not excluding anything.

Sample ideas:
Hello Kitty, Miffy, Kliban Cats, Pokémon (GO)
koala, panda bears, rubber ducks, (Linux) penguins
German Inkognito cards http://www.inkognito.de/postkarten
Betty Boop, pin-ups, geishas, pulp book covers

Robert Crumb, Milo Manara, Moebius, Liniers
Disney (mainly vintage), Hayao Miyazaki anime

Three humble wishes:
1) Write date, location and your name incl. username on the card. It's nice and sometimes mail destroys ID so I need other info pieces for registering.
2) If the card has message in Cyrillic/Chinese/Japanese/Arabic etc. please translate it in English.
3) If you have received a card from me, please write a short Description for the image on the Postcard Wall.

Website points to my Facebook album for return cards, direct swaps etc. that are not here in Postcrossing site itself - the first 200 cards; newer cards are in Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/49838108@N04/sets/72157624155338534/
