4. The “Quantified Self”
5. What is the “Quantified Self”? • Tracking data about yourself • aka “life logging” • (either intentionally or not) • Use data to modify behavior
6. The Original
 Quantified Self
9. A modern leader of the Quantified Self movement

24. GitHub Contributions Visualization
25. Data visualization a key piece of the Quantified Self:
 enables “a ha!” moments
26. Data visualization a key piece of the Quantified Self:
 collecting/seeing data can be it’s own intervention!
27. Example of useful data collection: web traffic
28. an OK post a less good post
29. Time Internet Traffic on IfWeAssume.com
30. Internet Traffic on IfWeAssume.com
31. Internet Traffic on IfWeAssume.com
32. Internet Traffic on IfWeAssume.com
33. Project: Studying Netflix Viewing Data
35. Not a “clean & tidy” source of data!
39. All I care about (for this analysis)
40. (DVD)
44. Let’s try playing with this data. On to the IPython Notebook!

48. This script runs every minute I use my computer: date >> ~/batlog.dat /usr/sbin/ioreg -l | grep “CycleCount” >> ~/batlog.dat /usr/sbin/ioreg -l | grep “Capacity” >> ~/batlog.dat ifweassume.com @jradavenport

66. Wanted: this digital fingerprint data from other people!
67. Let’s try playing with this data. On to the IPython Notebook!
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?
