The Great Internet Migratory Box Of Electronics Junk (Tig-Ihm-Boh-Edge) project is gettting a bit of a facelift. From Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, this “pay-it-forward style hardware sharing program for electronics” system has had its successes and pitfalls this year, and some adjustments to the system come now after learning what works and what doesn’t. New standardized documents to be included in the boxes means everyone who gets one will know what to do with it, and recipients are encouraged to track their boxes even after they send them off to the next lucky hackers. EMSL is also launching new boxes this week, so check out the new and improved project wiki if you’re interested in participating.

I started my own box a while ago. I’m not sure how far it’s gotten because the recipients haven’t seemed to be updating the “tracker”, but you can request it on my site, VoidingWarranties.com if you want to box to be sent to you.
