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:
