Besides my love of tech, I have an unusual fascination with international trade, container ships, logistics and other big global systems that quietly hum along day and night. There’s a very nice render of a shipping container on my business cards.
I’m thrilled to stumble upon the blog of Ethan Zuckerman and his mention of a new BBC series “The Box” that is tracking a cargo container around the world for a year.
What is the current location and load of the box?
UPDATE: That link really is the current location. I was expecting to be disappointed, but since I first saw the page, it has indeed been migrating across the map toward its very first load, of whiskey.

I like this post – I didn’t know there was a BBC series about this – what a great idea.
