Box Tracking

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 visualizations of where the box has gone.
