Box Tracking

2008-07-08T05:06:54Z

Creech:

This page is set up to coordinate tracking TGIMBOEJ boxes on their trip across the internets. That is, where ever a box goes it leaves a trail of blog posts and pictures. Here, we collect and track the progress of boxes across time and space. (When space begins to run out on this page, the individual boxes should be broken out into individual pages per box.)

Also, if recipients wouldn't mind giving some indication of where they received the box (town, nearest city, etc. nothing too specific) I might be able to whip up some Google Maps stuff or other visualisations of where the box has gone.

Box Requests

Creech: Deleted the random f.

If you'd like to be considered as a potential recipient of a TGIMBOEJ box, this is where you can say so.

'''How does this work?'''
* Leave your name or nickname ''once'' in a neat and organized '''alphabetical list''', organized by region to keep postage costs down.
* Link your name to your blog, web site, flickr stream, or where ever your online presence is. (Remember, publishing online is an important part of this project-- can't skip it.)
* Make sure that your online presence provides some way to contact you-- Don't post your e-mail address here.
* When someone is looking for a potential recipient for their box, they may follow your link to see if you are a "worthy" recipient. Showing off your electronics junk on your web site might be a good way to attract the right kind of attention.
* If you have already received a box and you ''do not want to be considered for another'', please remove your name from the list.

'''What this is not:'''
* A list of "who gets the box next." (It doesn't work that way.)
* A list of who has or hasn't had a box.
* A place for spam or overly self-promotional links. You know the difference.
* A place to leave personal information such as e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or street addresses.
* A place to suggest recipients other than yourself.
