9 to 5 Brow$er
Project by Evan Roth
Project by Evan Roth
A positive feedback mechanism for wasting company time on the Internet.
Step #1: Users install the freely available 9 to 5 Brow$er Firefox plugin.
Step #2: User enters the amount of money he/she makes at work in the preferences.
Step #3: Every time a user opens FireFox the 9-to-5 Brow$er plugin keeps a running tally of how much company money is wasted by surfing the web (based on user salary information set in the preferences).
Step #4: Add a little bit more pleasure to your day in the cubical by knowing exactly how much they are paying you to surf the web.
Step #5: In the event a user is in danger of being discovered with the 9-to-5-Brow$er they can hit the one click self destruct button in the bottom right corner of the browser to quickly remove all evidence.
Thank you for your support. All funds will be used to pay for the development and hosting of the Firefox plugin (which will remain free to download). If you are a FireFox developer interested in helping out with the project please get in touch: evan [at] evan-roth.com
