Step Count – Nick Grant

Step Count

This is a story about data…

Graph

I’m not going to write a proper blog post today – there isn’t enough time. However, I don’t want to skip a day so here’s a random graph. I’m thinking about how my step count is steadily increasing despite the fact I’ve had a chest infection for a couple of weeks. I’m thinking about how all the data – such as the consistent daily word count – is indicative of my improving situation.

I’ve got plans to create a map of every bed I’ve slept in during the last 4 months, my bank balance over time, the sentiment of my blogs using certain keywords (e.g. “depression”) and some kind of cross-correlation of it all.

It’s great to collect data. It’s great to be able to see trends.

    I’ve always enjoyed seeing the trends, as well. I’m not sure what it is about it that draws me in, though.

    We’re data addicts. We love the numbers
