Got the link from a friend's AIM profile and fell in love. Basically they collect whatever random things they find lying around and put it up on the website. Love letters, post-it notes, homework, to-do lists, break-up notes, pieces of poetry. Some of them are really cute or funny:

That second one was found in a high school.

And others are kinda sad:

Has the description: This book was found next to a dumpster at Ohio University. I can't remember the date, but I probably found it near the spring of 2000. It belonged to an old woman who had presumably passed away recently. Other personal items, including a handwritten joke book, a funeral register, and a sheet of paper that listed all her medical conditions were nearby. This book is several decades old. The cover says "Birthdays" and is re-bound with tape. Other than birthdays, she recorded facts from her life, when each of her friends died, anniversaries, the circumstances of her pet's death, surgeries, etc. I found this page, where she notes her husband's burial particularly heartbreaking, as she retraced her own words repeatedly.
Anyways, the site's really neat and you should check it out. http://www.foundmagazine.com/
