    @aaronpk we have no servers. reports are only stored locally and to dropbox (if activated).
    Aaron Parecki
    @GetReporter That's awesome news, thanks! I bet it makes things easier on your end too. Would love to hear how you came to the decision to not run a server. I'm continually disappointed by the number of silos that exist for this kind of stuff. More of my thoughts here: http://aaron.pk/a4SV1

    Super excited to try @felton's new @getreporter app! Also very nice to see the option of automatically saving every entry to Dropbox. I smell a bunch of new data coming to my metrics feed soon! http://aaronparecki.com/metrics #quantifiedself

    @aaronpk Google Now has been attempting to do that in last month or so ... it's not remotely accurate
    Aaron Parecki
    @geekcode Google Now doesn't have access to your heart rate and skin perspiration! Will report back after I've tried it out for a bit.

    Interesting! The latest @mybasis update claims to be able to detect biking vs running! This is interesting! #qs http://www.theverge.com/tech/2013/11/5/5068784/basis-fitness-tracking-band-can-now-tell-when-youre-running-walking

    @aral Was just at the #quantifiedself conference in SF this week and this post came out of it. http://aaronparecki.com/articles/2013/10/11/1/the-future-of-quantified-self-devices Very closely related to the #ownyourdata ideas we talk about on the web, but for hardware tracking devices too! Would love to talk about this with you next week too!

    @patrikmalmberg Yes, a step in the right direction, but ultimately it requires major changes from device manufacturers and software developers as well.

    @patrikmalmberg I think a "data bank" would be one way this likely ends up happening! It would be a good business around personal data. #qs13

  • The Future of Quantified Self Devices

    I was sitting at the back of the API discussion at the Quantified Self Conference this Friday in San Francisco, and realized that there is something wrong with the current way these quantified self devices are built and marketed. I don't want to buy a device and be trapped in the company's ecosystem of apps and be stuck in yet another social network. I want to use these physical devices as inputs to my own data store, and have a completely separate set of companies handle the social and aggregation of data from the data that I own.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards 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. (detailed bio)

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.
