The Wall Street Journal have a great article, The New Examined Life, about Nicholas Felton’s amazing personal annual reports and similar life-tracking tools.

Felton is currently developing Daytum – a tool to help you ‘collect and communicate’ your own daily data. I find this kind of reverse-big brother technology fascinating. Rather than being monitored from above, we’re happy to publicise everything about ourselves, in a bottom-up style. Orwell never saw that coming.
