Quantified Awesome: 116 web resources for Quantified Self
Posted: - Modified: | braindump, quantifiedI like reading about other people’s adventures in self-tracking and experimentation. It’s a great way to pick up ideas and connect with other people. There’s Quantified Self, but it has a handful of authors. One morning, I went through twenty pages of search results in order to put together this list for you and me.
(In case you’re curious, it took me a little over two hours to put this together, and Google Chrome hung twice.)
In no particular order…
