Low Friction Personal Data Collection
summary
GPS location logs run continuously since 2008, check‑ins on Foursquare are complete since 2009, and sleep records come from a Jawbone device nightly since late 2011 — all archived, timestamped, time‑zone normalized and published to a personal site. Weight uploads from a Withings scale and vehicle fill‑ups arrive via forgiving SMS parsing; Bluetooth‑LE bike cadence and heart‑rate sensors sync to trips. SmartThings hubs and Pebble notifications integrate, and the pipeline mostly works though food, ambient audio and reliable people‑presence remain unsolved.
