Virtual Beer Server

http://beer.trash.net/
As big business beats the Web into submission, it's easy to lament the days of two guys in a garage changing the world. But don't give up on them yet. The trash.net virtual beer server -- run by five guys in Switzerland -- lets you e-mail a cold one to your pal in a split second. While the beer is obviously a mirage (a glitch that's sure to be solved by future garage dwellers), the effect on the soul upon receiving free beer is nothing less than liberating. Unfortunately, it also makes daily e-mail memos that much more boring.
