My environmental focused plugins are included in the exhibition End of Oil at Exit Art. The opening is this Saturday, June 13th from 6-8. The exhibition runs from June 13 – July 31, 2009.

A project of SEA (Social-Environmental Aesthetics) , The End of Oil is an exhibition of photography, prints, videos, installations and new media that addresses human dependence on oil and other fossil fuels; the ramifications that this dependency has on the future of the environment and of global geopolitics; and the recent push towards viable alternative energy resources.

I read the news today. Oh boy! — This morning I thought I’dcheck cnn.com for the latest. OilStandard revealed part of the story thatwasn’t being reported on.

OilStandard is a firefox plugin that inserts oil priceswherever ecommerce currency is noted by the text of a given web-page. Theexchange is live so the value is live.

Note: The Current version of the plug-in doesn’t work inFirefox 3 (yet!). But the Greasemonkey script sure does. Download it here (thescript). You can download the Greasemonkey plugin here.
