Hey everyone!

I'm a programmer from the triangle area on the east coast. I'm interested in applied rationality through things like auto-analytics.[1] I'm also interested in how humans can best adapt to information technology. Seriously, people, this internet thing? It is out there!

From what I gather of LW stereotypes my personal life is so cliche I'm not even going to bother. Uh, I think tradition is kind of important? I guess that makes me kind of unique . . .

[1] Specifically I'm interested in getting a standardized database format for things like food consumed, exercise, time spent, etc. Once we have that centralized apps could be broken up into publishing, storage, and analysis functions, which would have some huge advantages over the current system. For one thing non-technical users wouldn't have to be scared of getting their data locked into an obsolute format. For another it would be easier to try out new systems. If this idea interests you (or you think it sucks and are willing to explain why), let me know!
