Discuss: Why collect data about yourself? Personal data fascinates me. I collect data about myself mostly as a way to journal and document the present so that I can look back on it later - similar to how someone else might flip through an old photo album. In just about every interview I've read with Nicholas Felton, author of several personal annual reports, he's asked how the data, or rather the information from that data, has changed his behavior. For the most part, it doesn't. It's more of an interesting view into the past year for him.
However, there are plenty of others who collect data in an effort to change their behavior in some way. They might be trying to lose weight or stay more disciplined with their exercise regimen. So if you collect data about yourself, whether it be an automated system or with pen and paper, why do you do it? If you don't collect data, what's holding you back?

Last month smartphone running app RunKeeper crossed the 2 million download mark, FitnessKeeper’s co-founder Michael Sheeley told MobiHealthNews in a recent interview. “That makes us the number one running app in iTunes and number one for Android as well,” Sheeley said. “I don’t believe anyone is growing as fast as we are with hundreds of thousands of new users every month. We also have a good retention rate — for our paying users about half of them remain active each month,” Sheeley said. Sheeley contends that if FitnessKeeper can create the best running app they can leverage that model for other sports and areas of fitness, and make good on living up to the parent company’s name.
That said, FitnessKeeper’s strategy moving forward is important to the wider mobile health industry — RunKeeper recently announced plans to integrate data from Zeo’s personal sleep coach service and is working to help Zeo develop its API. Life Chart - Beta. My daily color palette. The days are numbered for self-trackers. "It is quite nerdy" . . . Jamie Ross with the spreadsheets of his life. Photo: Craig Sillitoe People trying to reduce stress and anxiety and improve their health are becoming "self-trackers" – using modern technology to tally every aspect of their lives. They plot minute data including working hours, sleep, exercise, sex, diet, productivity and weight. Sometimes called "personal informatics", adherents use heart-rate monitors, websites that record their alcohol use, calorie intake, mood or sexual encounters and mobile phone applications that tally sleep patterns.
Typically, self-trackers then share the information through social media, with The New York Times recently calling the trend "constructing a quantified self".

La hiérarchie des réseaux. Chasing Artist and Downtown Legend Dash Snow. The artist Dash Snow rammed a screwdriver into his buzzer the other day. He has no phone. He doesn’t use e-mail. So now, if you want to speak to him, you have to go by his apartment on Bowery and yell up. Lorax-like, he won’t come to the window to let you see that he sees you: He has a periscope he puts up so he can check you out first. Partly, it comes from his graffiti days, this elusiveness, the recent adolescence the 25-year-old Snow spent tagging the city and dodging the police.
If you want to find Snow, you have to find Colen, or Snow’s other best friend, the 29-year-old photographer Ryan McGinley, who four years ago became the youngest person ever to have a solo show at the Whitney. “I guess I get obsessed with people, and I really became fascinated by Dash,” says McGinley, who shares a Chinatown loft a few blocks away from Snow’s apartment with Dan Colen, whom McGinley has known since they were teenage skateboarders in New Jersey.

Piers Anthony Œuvres principales Bio of a Space TyrantBattle CircleIncarnations of ImmortalityCycle de Xanth Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob (né le à Oxford, en Angleterre) est un écrivain naturalisé américain de science-fiction et de fantasy. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Sa famille émigre au cours de son enfance, et il grandit aux États-Unis. Piers Anthony est végétarien, agnostique, et n'aime pas voyager (d'où la rareté de ses apparitions aux conventions de science-fiction). Œuvres[modifier | modifier le code] C'est un écrivain très prolifique, mais il est plus connu pour la longue série de romans qu'il a écrit se situant dans le royaume imaginaire de Xanth. Il a un jour affirmé que l'un de ses plus grands accomplissements était d'avoir publié au moins un livre par lettre de l'alphabet, d'Anthonology à Zombie Lover.

The Quantified Self is a collaboration of users and tool makers that I started with my friend and colleague Kevin Kelly. There is a group blog and a regular “show&tell” meetup in several cities. (I am also working on a book about the Quantified Self.) Here is some background on how this all got started. During some conversations in the summer of 2007, Kevin and I discussed the implications of a range of new tools that were making self-tracking easier. Another way of thinking about this is that The Quantified Self is the macroscope applied to the individual human.
We call our regular meetings “The Quantified Self Show&Tell” because we use the classic show&tell format we’ve all known since first grade. If you would like to try hosting a QS Show&Tell of your own, don’t hesitate. What Technology Wants. [Translations: Japanese] Your dog wants to go outside. Your cat wants to be scratched. Birds want mates. Worms want moisture. Bacteria want food. The wants of a microscopic single-celled organism are less than the wants of you or me, but all organisms share a few fundamental desires: to survive, to grow. Perhaps not much room is needed to want. If a little one-celled protozoan – a very small package – can have a choice, if a flea has urges, if a starfish has a bias towards certain things, if a mouse can want, then so can the growing, complexifying technological assemblage we have surrounded ourselves with.
None of these parts operate independently. The technium is the sphere of visible technology and intangible organizations that form what we think of as modern culture. To head off any confusion, the technium is not conscious (at this point). Of course we humans want certain things from the technium, but at the same time there is an inherent bias in the technium outside of our wants. Kevin Kelly (editor) Kevin Kelly speaking at the Long Now Foundation in San Francisco, CA, 2011 Kevin Kelly (born August 14, 1952) is the founding executive editor of Wired magazine, and a former editor/publisher of the Whole Earth Catalog.
He has also been a writer, photographer, conservationist, and student of Asian and digital culture. Kelly lives in Pacifica, California, a small coastal town just south of San Francisco. He is a devout Christian.[2] He is married and has three children; Tywen, Ting and Kaileen. Among Kelly's personal involvements is a campaign to make a full inventory of all living species on earth, an effort also known as the Linnaean enterprise. The goal is to make an attempt at an "all species" web-based catalog in one generation (25 years). In an interview with artist Olafur Eliasson Kelly said, "I’m very optimistic in general, as you know. When he was 27 Kevin Kelly was a freelance photo journalist, and got locked out of his hostel in Jerusalem due to being late for a curfew. Poetry: Kevin Kelly. Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World.
The central theme of the book is that several fields of contemporary science and philosophy point in the same direction: intelligence is not organized in a centralized structure but much more like a bee-hive of small simple components. Kelly applies this view to bureaucratic organizations, intelligent computers as well as to the human brain. This book has been translated into 5 languages, including Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese and Chinese. Additionally, the United Kingdom editions have been adapted into British English, in order to make the context more understandable to British readers.[2] Many editorials have also give positive reviews on this book, including Publishers Weekly, “In this mind-expanding exploration…investigates what he calls "vivisystems"--lifelike, complex, engineered systems capable of growing in complexity. The Forbes ASAP also give the high review, “the best of an important new genre. Sources and notes[edit] Jump up ^ Oreck J (director) (2001).

Culture informationnelle, fracture cognitive, redocumentarisation de soi et plus si affinités. Quelques extraits de mon intervention de vendredi dernier à propos des technologies de l'artefact et de la capillarité : à propos des réseaux sociaux et du processus de redocumentarisation : "Dans le monde réel, nous disposons tous de « documents d’identité », factuels, lesquels documents et identités peuvent être « documentés » de différentes manières, par exemple par des services de police ou par les services sociaux. Dans le monde « virtuel », les sites de réseaux sociaux comme Facebook permettent de redocumentariser notre identité connectée, qu’elle soit ou non en adéquation avec notre identité réelle : la description identitaire est ici fragmentée, enrichie et complétée par d’autres. « Je » me définis par la manière dont je me décris mais également par la nature de mes relations, des réseaux auxquels j’appartiens, des opinions des « groupes » ou des « communautés » que je fréquente.

His interests include extreme lifelogging, digital lives, preserving everything in cyberspace, and cloud computing as a new computer class and platform. He proselytizes Jim Gray’s Fourth Paradigm of Science. Gordon has long evangelized scalable systems starting with his interest in multiprocessors (mP) beginning in 1965 with the design of Digital's PDP-6, PDP-10's antecedent, one of the first mPs and the first timesharing computer.

According to proponents of the spaced repetition learning method such as Piotr Woźniak, it can optimize measured long-term knowledge acquisition.[3][4] The method is available as a computer program for Windows, Windows CE, Windows Mobile (Pocket PC), Palm OS (PalmPilot), etc.
It can also be used in a web browser or even without a computer.[5] The desktop version of SuperMemo (since v. 2002) supports incremental reading.[6] Software implementation[edit] The software implementation of the SuperMemo algorithm in its most rudimentary and basic form is a database of question and answer (Q&A) fields (or more practically, digital and electronic flashcards).[7] The database is either a pre-made collection, self-made, or in some cases both through Merging. The software then traverses with the user through each element that is scheduled for repetition (a new set of "reps" is computed for each day on the calendar).
