Recently I mentioned how my development efforts are going to be focused on quality as opposed to gizmos. I wanted to offer a specific example today, Sunday, one of the seven working days of the week.

I don’t know why, but I’ve gone on a tech kick in the past 48 hours. It’s like I’ve turned 17 again (although not the full experience, regrettably), so I’ve been reading, experimenting, and exploring like crazy. I won’t even tell you some of the goofy stuff I’ve been trying, but there is one thing I’d like to try out, oh, I dunno, like on Sunday with whomever here is hip enough to join me. Get a free avatar over at the Spatial site and, more important, drop me a line with your email address so I can invite you. It would be a kick to see how a virtual Slope goes.

It provides a nearly real-time mechanism for getting notifications about stocks and crypto prices, including chart-based alerts.
