I've done something delightful to my browser. Michael Day, an artist whose work I esteem in great measure, has put together an exhibit through Add-Art. Add-Art utilizes a firefox plug-in to replace all web ad content with art. Lovely.

So, for instance, yesterday, when I was looking up the last lines of "The Dead," I saw this:
I've noticed that having the ad content replaced changes the quality of the way I read on-line. It's more still; there are fewer moments in which I feel tugged in ten directions.
I've written a small bit of text to go along with the exhibition, which you can read here or here.
