Bill Schuller on Quantifying With Kids

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Alexandra Carmichael

Bill Schuller started tracking his exercise and weight in 2010, and got into the habit of talking about his numbers each night at the dinner table. Before long, his kids got interested in tracking too. In the video below, Bill talks about what he learned and tells some fun stories, including one about a tracking game he made up with his five-year-old son to clean up the house while his wife was away for the weekend. (Filmed by the San Diego QS Show&Tell meetup group.)

Family History, Please

Posted on November 26, 2007 by Kevin Kelly

As the Gene Sherpa rightly points out, a significant step in knowing yourself healthwise is to create a family health history. In most cases currently organizing the state of your ancestors health will be more informative than getting your genes sequenced.  There’s even a federal initiative of the US Department of Health & Human Services called Family History, which encourages and guides you in this direction.

They got a website which I have not used yet. It is primarily a record-keeping organizer. The site states:

The web-based tool helps users organized family history information and then print it out for presentation to the family doctor. In addition, the tool helps users save their family history information to their own computer and even share family history information with other family members.

Whatever you use, it’s a good idea.
