Erik Duval, Abelardo Pardo
quantifiedself.org
Asked what attendees use
most said fitbit - wear constantly and get feedback on kms walked etc fitbit.com
also rescuetime - checks browser use and social media use - therefore what is and isnt productive in how you use your time. Can set goals eg no more than 1 1/2 hours per day in email.
Moodpanda - tracks mood - get a map of where you feel differently
Lift - android - express a goal, create a 'habit' and start checking in. get little graphs showing how you are doing
Abelardo
Observe only while engaged in the activity, then turn off (magic switch).
sensors are becoming a commodity
Groupwork
1 - what would you like to measure?
brainstorm then discussion - making creates opportunities for innovation ie collecting data just because you can, can pay unexpected dividends eg using Runkeeper - when in a foreign place, ask it to recommend a run (Runkeeper knows how far you typically run etc)
wearable & ubiquitous 'in' and 'out' fitbit gives Erik a little buzz once he's gone a few Km
2 - come up with a QS scenario and how you could use it
