maicharvard1

The MAICgregator add-on aggregates information about colleges and universities embedded in the military-academic-industrial complex (MAIC). It searches government funding databases, private news sources, private press releases, and public information about trustees to try and produce a radical cartography of the modern university via the replacement or overlay of this information on academic websites. This is a necessary activity in light of the contemporary financial “crisis”.

cfd001twitter_m With recent mistakes by companies and organizations not knowing how to properly censor online documents, its easy to see why people believe the text they can’t see can’t be read. And with computer illiterate people like Rush Limbaugh, it is not difficult to confuse them with censored alterations to the web pages they commonly visit.

This add-on censors the web by hiding text and images behind blocks. I dig the aesthetics! /tbx

Misspelling Generator

by Linda Hilfling and Erik Borra

add-on website: http://misspelling-generator.org/

The Misspelling Generator is intervening within the Google search engine. Whenever the extension is enabled, each query typed in the Google search box will generate misspellings, then query Google for each of these misspellings, and finally rank them by number of returns. This all happens in the background – as a user, you will not notice it.Once the extension has done all deviations of the query (typically after 1 to 4 seconds, depending on the length of the query), it will insert the misspellings above the normal Google results – similar to Google’s “Did you mean:”, but now with “Have you tried:” instead.

Tired of the Web 2.0 Design? This Firefox Add-on warps you back to the amateur web of 1996.

This Firefox Add-on uses the syntax of any webpage, and changes it into a beautiful Web 1.0 amateur page. This is my tribute to all the pioneers of the web.
