    Excerpt

    Have you ever wanted to track your movements, sleep, what you eat, who you spend time with, and all sorts of other personal data? In this talk I'll describe the tools I've been able to successfully use to track aspects of my life.

    Description

    It’s no secret that I like to collect as much personal data as possible. I’ve been tracking my location since 2008, tracking my sleep and weight since 2011, and have kept exact mileage logs every time I filled my car with gas.

    You may think I have some crazy obsession with collecting this much data and will do anything it takes, but in reality I’m pretty lazy about it and look for low-friction solutions otherwise I can’t sustain the project.

    In this talk I’ll go over the tools I use for data collection and what I’ve learned from trying to collect this much data over an extended period of time. I’ll highlight some of the new tools coming out soon that I’m hoping will be successful. I will also show visualizations I’ve made from the data I’ve collected over time.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Senior Security Architect at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming and dabble in product design.

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
