Life Logging

I was listening to On The Media on NPR this morning and there was a segment on life logging. Life logging is a concept where you digitally archive all of your conversations, documents, photos, etc. There is a researcher from Microsoft who wears a camera around his neck that takes a photo of what he’s seeing every minute. Apparently they are developing some software around this too. If you want to hear this you can click on that link above.

This relates to me in an odd way. We’ve been cleaning out the basement and I’ve found a bunch of papers and stuff from high school and college. Now it’s largely stuff that is sentimental and yet I don’t actually need to physically posses. So I’ve been planning on photographing/scanning it all. That totally fits into the life logging concept.  I came across a letter to the editor I wrote to the Daily Record in 1996. It was a response to an article that said women don’t know how to program.
