Gary Wolf’s TED talk on the Quantified Self was just released today, so if you’re here because of that, a hearty welcome to you!
Along with posting to this group blog, we hold regular “Show&Tell” meetings where you can hear short, interesting accounts of self-tracking projects, or present your own experiments and results. There are active groups in the Bay Area, New York City, Boston, Amsterdam, London, Chicago, Seattle, Toronto, San Diego, and Sydney (Australia). The links in this paragraph will take you to the appropriate page on MeetUp.com, so you can sign up for advance notice of meetings.
