If you think counting calories or tracking how far you walk is going far to achieve a health goal, then you'd be blown away by the marathoners of personal tracking, lifeloggers. Last night at the Bay Area Quantitative Self meet up, Gordon Bell shared a decade long project he's been working on to digitally log everything about his life called MyLifeBits. Gordon has been wearing a sensecam off and on for the past five years which takes a picture every 20 minutes of what he is doing. He also wears an audio recorder to capture conversations. He says he's recording a few gigabits of data each month. Gordon sees collecting health information and sharing of that data as the biggest benefit of his experiment. He sees the social health wave coming.
