title: Shoebox — Work by Giles Turnbull url: https://gilest.org/shoebox.html hash_url: 462022ad2f

I have a habit of using old shoeboxes to keep things in. Old photos, bits of paper, odds-and-ends that don’t have another place to live.

This is my digital shoebox: a bit of website where for the odds-and-ends. I put things here so that I can delete them from other places.

• Sweet Film, an album of photos made using Sweet Film for iOS; I thought about using it for a project, but I never did
• An archive of my Twitter account, 2006-2023. RIP.
• Designs for greetings cards
• Anti-growth coalition
• Breathing is an exchange of gases
• Some quizzes I made for lockdown socialising
• Online Journalism Awards certificate - for being a finalist in the 2012 awards, for Twitter by post
• That time I got interviewed in .net magazine (about Twitter by post)
• Singing thing - a draft of a piece I started for The Morning News but never finished
• Pretend Office tweets, draft tweets from the team at the company that's almost certainly among the best in the field that it's in (see also)

• I couldn't take this photo
• Scanned sleeve art for Furniture albums
• Nightmare jobs from hell, a note about some of the terrible jobs I did as a youth
