9 to 5 Brow$er (Project Idea)
9 to 5 Brow$er is a Firefox plugin which offers a positive feedback mechanism for wasting company time on the Internet. Simply install, enter in your salary / wage information and track how much company money you are wasting on the Internet.
If you are a Firefox developer interested in getting involved please contact me at evan[at]evan-roth[dot]com. I'm also experimenting with using kickstarter.com as a mechanism for supporting project development (spread the word to your wealthy friends):
Coming soon to a browser near you!

Graffiti Taxonomy: Paris, 2009
A study depicting the stylistic diversity found in Parisian graffiti tags. Now on display at Fondation Cartier's Born In The Streets - Graffiti exhibition until November 29, 2009.
Over 2,400 graffiti tags were photographed from April 24 to April 28, 2009, from each of Paris's 20 districts. All photographs were archived, tagged and sorted by letter. The ten most commonly used letters by Paris graffiti writers were identified for further study (A,E,I,K,N,O,R,S,T and U). From each letter grouping, eighteen tags were isolated to represent the diversity and range of that specific character. These sets are not intended to display the "best" graffiti tags in Paris, but rather aim to highlight the diversity of forms ranging from upper case to lowercase, simple to complex and legible to cryptic. For more information go here.
