Show&Tell Talks (w/ QS co-founder Gary Wolf)

Please join us for a night of conversation on self-tracking where we share ideas, tools and experiments with the Portland Quantified Self community. A special treat, Gary Wolf, the co-founder of Quantified Self will be in attendance!

If you keep track of your life in any way – life logging, athletic performance, mood, sleep, medical symptoms, happiness, energy, etc. – come and share your methods, results and insight.

Special note about food We're moving towards doing this potluck-style. If you can, please bring a drink or snack that you can share with others. It doesn't have to be big or elaborate. If most of us do this, we should be plenty satiated. I will bring cups and small plates.

Here's our agenda:

Intro and Announcements - 6:15 sharp!

Presentations* - 6:30 to 7:30

• Steven - Lessons learned from Bloodtesters (group research in the spirit of self-experimentation).
• Mike - Does mindfulness and physical training actually affect my attention?
• Heather - How I monitor the quality of my artistic process.
• Gary - 7 years of meditation tracking
• Anton - Using stimulus control for school work.
• Alec - I made a tool to help see meditation in a new way.
• Plus more! Let us know if you have a project to share when you sign up.

Social Time - 7:30 to 8 pm
After some amazing presentations, we will have some time to converse with those around us.

*Where our talks come from: Our talks come from you! Do you have a personal self-tracking story to share? Please let us know in your RSVP. You can let the three prime questions guide your presentation:

What did you do? How did you do it? What did you learn?
