 collecting/seeing

    data can be it’s own intervention!

27. Example of useful data collection: web traffic

68. What I wanted to cover today • About me, my

    blog, my varied interests • The two methods for coming up with blog posts • Visualization & it’s role in asking questions • What is the Quantified Self? • Hands-on examples of my analysis • Discussion: the role of a library for the modern data-driven researcher?
