Aaron Parecki on Low Friction Personal Data Collection

November 13, 2013

Even in a world of connected devices, wearable technology, and near ubiquitous data connections self-tracking and personal data collection can be difficult endeavor. Aaron Parecki has been tracking various aspects of this life for years – specifically location, weight, and sleep. We’ve covered some of Aaron’s work and his amazing geolocation visualizations here before and we were excited to have him speaking about his experiences at our 2013 Global Conference. Watch this fantastic talk to hear about Aaron’s tracking practices and his thoughts on why a personal data server is an important tool.

Update: Aaron let us know that his slides from this talk are also available and can be viewed here.

We’ll be posting videos from our 2013 Global Conference during the next few months. If you’d like see talks like this in person we invite you to join us in Amsterdam for our 2014 Quantified Self Europe Conference on May 10 and 11th.
