Note:  I'm not quite sure what I want to call this collection of ideas yet.  Lifestreaming + personal unit testing = ?

Background

Inspiration

"The time has almost come for a service to tell your story for you."  -Dave  <-- That's also Dave's way of thinking like a so-sneaky statistician and wanting to develop beyond the daily reflection requirement.

"The smallest events can have a huge impact on your future."  -Me

Goal:  Incorporate Personal Unit Testing with lifestreaming to track progress to a specific goal, chart your personal highs and lows, and provide context for the data we generate every day.

• Daily reflection of successes, challenges, and insights
• Mash up with photos / tags / etc of content from conversations and events from each day
  • get events and tags from facebook / gCal?
  • twitter messages (and replies?)
  • flickr / facebook photos of or by you
  • Del.icio.us <--- what new ideas were introduced
  • Mash with Compare People for external opinion?
• This will be a lot of content with a high signal to noise ratio!  Make it easy for users to highlight their ah-ha moments, inspiration, and micro turning points
  • Example:  Moments after this twitter message I realized how I could combine my nutrition exploration and barcamp to challenge people's beliefs about the food they eat.  Which then led to this twitter message.
  • Example:  One mis-categorized craigslist ad created an entirely new dream
• Make it work with PPA?
• Chart everything with Dipity
  • I am more and more frequently wanting to find content I created on a certain day or related to a thread of events, like when researching for my blog post regarding my recent health issues.
    • 1) Reflecting back was a very powerful experience to remind myself where I was at those points
    • 2) Bringing the reader back provides an entirely new context to what I'm saying now and what was going on then

FriendFeed is great and all, but I've already had enough aggregation and commenting, tyvm.

Units I would test

• Spend at least 15 minutes per day with the SS community
• Avoid oportunities in conversations to throw my 2 cents in about Dan (whether they're good cents or bad cents...just let it go)
• Eat ___ grams of fiber
• Didn't end a meal feeling like I ate too much
• Didn't leave email unanswered
• Get to work before 10
• Didn't wake up thinking "crap, I should have washed my hair"
• Took meds
• Daily insights, challenges, successes (no matter how seemingly mundane)
• Didn't fall asleep with the lights on
• Spent 30 minutes per day reading something I didn't have to click on
• Wrote 1 insightful blog post per week on either sophistechate or technarium
• 1 blog post per week on SS
• 1 new SS contact per week
