The technology section of the New York Times shows a video titled “Nicholas Felton: A Quantified Life” describing Nicholas Felton’s obsession with data. Fast Company named him one of the 50 most influential designers in America in 2011. Felton is an information designer who used to work at Facebook and has tracked almost every aspect of his life. While somewhat disturbing he makes a good point that, for instance, our grocery stores know more about our habits than we know ourselves. See the blog post “A Life in Data: Nicholas Felton’s Self-Surveillance” to learn more about his methods and visualizations.
