Snail Mail in the Digital Age

It is good to see snail mail has meshed with the Internet so well. Those that said e-mail would kill the Post Office are so wrong.

Heck, without it where would we get our stuff from flEa-bay and Buy.com?

But it also is essential in the new "Projects" that are popping up. Sure we've all seen the Mirror Project and the Eye Project. But I know there are more more more! Let's take a peek:

* The Film Exchange Program - Take a 12 shot 35mm roll and mail it off to a Blogger you don't know. They must develop it, sight unseen and post a web gallery! Sounds fun!!

* CD Mix of the Month- Once a month you make a "mix CD" for a the web host, and he sends you his. If you send 2 copies, he sends you his and one from another participant! Coolness!

* The Covers Project - Database of hits "covered" by other bands.

* The Feral Show Project - Send in pics of your shoes. Hmm, ok.

* The Desktravaganza Project - Take a pic of your computer area and send it in-I loose hours at this site, why does this fascinate me????

* The Live Your Life Project - Make decisions for these UK hipsters.

* The Desktop Project - Take a screenshot of your desktop and send it in. [Drat, I've lost the link, if the owner would please post a comment I will update this]

I have 2 "Projects" in to start here. I may have to call on the PhotoBlog karate of Christine and Jenn, but I think they would be fun!
What other "Projects" are happening? Let me know, I may want to join in.
