★ Clickable: Ups and Downs

    For a reason I don't fully understand, I get a kick out of watching the stock market spluttering around like a balloon that has come untied. I have no idea how this is directly affecting me - I swore off that tab in Mint long ago - so I am excited by both the ups, and the downs. All I know is, I want to be watching when The Great Depression II starts!

    To make my sick little obsession easier, I skipped some SXSW morning panels to hack on Ups and Downs, a Twitter bot that will tell you how the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been doing. The bot tweets every 30 minutes while the market is open in New York. Follow Ups and Downs on Twitter and bear witness to the ECONOCALYPSE!
