After making it only part way through Tim Ferriss' new book The 4 Hour Body I am already thinking that I'm going to have to soon start going the "I, API" route. Basically: measure everything.

I bought a Garmin GPS watch a while back just to see what it looked like to walk around for a day. What if I could combine that data with, say, Fitbit (http://www.fitbit.com/) and Zeo (http://www.myzeo.com/)?

I think we're on the cusp of a revolution of new technology that will let us cheaply measure and collect data on all kinds of things in our lives. Just think about what kind of effect visualization of data like this could have on your life!

The fitness imperative is almost implicit in this kind of self-analysis.
