It's not quite the same, sure, but this is almost what my Twitter/Evernote/Delicious trifecta have become ;-)

The resolution is "good enough" for now. I can usually figure out where I was and when, what ideas I was working on, and recall Web sites I was looking at by mere keyword/tag alone.. it comes in very handy sometimes!


Reminds me of The rememberance agent, a emacs plug-in that recorded/indexed all actions/text. It was mainly used for those in the mid-90s doing wearable computing projects at MIT. Though it was only used for text.

Ignoring for a moment how impractical this currently is, just because you have a ton of data doesn't mean you can search it effectively. In fact, the more data, the harder it will be to find the relevant bits.


Personally, I think the data is not a problem anymore; what is the problem that we lack ways to understand the data and make any sense of it.


He's like a modern day Proust, without the prose.


The question is, when will you ever have the leisure to reference it?
