data gathering on the self

A few links regarding the collection of personal data on yourself: video, audio, facts

--Noah, picture every day for a year

Most of the mainstream media have focused on health-related data gathering, i.e. Nike Plus or just running web sites like Map My Run, Daily Burn, etc. Wired July 2009 has a series on this topic. The Cover Story is "Living by Numbers".
