A couple of months ago I picked up a FitBit Flex. For those of you unfamiliar with the wrist device, it’s similar to the Nike FuelBand.
I bought one for really two reasons.
The first is that I think it’s pretty clear at this point - with Google Glass and rumours of an Apple iWatch - that wearable computing will eventually be a massive market opportunity. Who knows, it could do to mobile what mobile did to PCs.
The second reason is that I love data. I love measuring and tracking things. And it’s probably the main reason I use apps like Foursquare fairly regularly.
To this end, here’s how I walked today:
It’s pretty typical for a day of commuting: To the office in the morning; out and about at lunch; and then back at the end of the day.
