Healthier Information talk at Quantified Self, March 29, 2012

This is the video of my presentation at the meeting of the San Francisco (original) chapter of Quantified Self, March 29 at Google West Campus, Mountain View.

I discuss the informational value of phone calls from family members compared to television, and the interestingness of my cat and possible value of Rush Limbaugh, among other things.  See the presentation slides on Slideshare.

The format of this was “ignite+”, which is a talk accompanied by 30 slides, shown for 15 seconds each, auto-advanced, which is 7.5 minutes, plus 7.5 minutes for Q&A.  You have to start and finish exactly on time. (regular “ignite” format, also known as Pecha Kucha, is 20 slides, 20 seconds each.  See also Wikipedia entry on Ignite.).

Note: I had difficulty getting this video (hosted on Vimeo) to play well. You may want to download the file, using links at bottom of the Vimeo page, and replay it once downloaded.
