In an article from last week’s Post, Bytes of Life, the author writes about two self proclaimed ‘data junkies’ who spend countless hours online charting, analyzing, and tracking life as a series of pure, distilled data points up for interpretation.
The Internet brims with sites that track just about every task that you perform on a given day (eating, sleeping, exercising) as well as the things your body does without direction (pumping blood, producing glucose, gaining weight).
A list of the ’self-tracking’ sites from the article below:
MyMileMarker.com tracks your Driving Habits:
Record your driving habits and see charts of your distance traveled over time, and compare it to your fuel economy. All in a nice, easy to read format.
