You've got mail

This has been around for a while now but came up in conversation the other day. Want your mail but not around to physically receive it? Have it redirected to Earth Mail, who will take it into their secure area, scan the envelope for you and forward it onto you via the internet. If it's something you want, they'll open it up and scan the contents for you so you can view it online, wherever you are. If it's something you don't want they'll shred it and you need never have to think about it again.

Nice way to merge the physical and the digital, and has been used with serving troops in Iraq and Afghanistan so they dont have to wait for two weeks before they get letters from loved ones (or their mobile phone bill).
