If you havenโ€™t been checking up on The Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronic Junk (TGIMBOEJ) project in a while, there are a number of things that have been going on:

Thereโ€™s a TGIMBOEJ Wiki, with box tracking, links to blog reports and Flickr sets, details on starting boxes, lists to join to get a box, etc. There are 19 boxes listed on the wiki.

Thereโ€™s a TGIMBOEJ Group on Flickr.

There are โ€œMicroboxesโ€ in circulation.

And there are TGIMBOEJs now starting to float around on other continents.
