The Coffee House

Gonna be a nasty day here. If you believe the weather reports (which is generally a bad idea here), we are gonna have a very icy, snowy, rainy, icy, sleety, snowy day and night ahead of us. "Lucky" us--we are JUST below the "all snow" line, so we get to deal with the ice and sleet instead!

Ugh. Shoot me. Just shoot me now.
No, wait. Don't shoot me--send me to the beach!!
 
:76:

whatever ...
I've also never flown to the moon and back. :)
....oh.... THAT I believe!!! :D


you're better off without coffee, we agree on that.... and.... I've also never flown to the moon and back ;)
 
So, I got one of those fitness tracker doohickeys. Found a really good sale on one that my sister has, so I knew what it would do. So far it's interesting, although this morning it notified me that I was idle for a total 3 hours yesterday and how I should probably set an alert to remind me to get off my ass. Seems a little judgy to me. It doesn't know why I was idle. What's it going to say about how much time I spend in the car during the week? It's not like I'm going to stop on the side of the highway and take a few steps just to satisfy this rubber thing on my wrist.

I am curious, however, how many "steps" I take during a typical class session.

I like data.
 
Wifey has one of those things. I can live without it. Every now and then her doohickey won't sync with her iPhone, as it is supposed to do.

It supposedly measures the quality of her sleep, which is the main reason she bought it.

Better you than me........
 
Collecting the data is easy. Connecting the dots... a little harder. Interpreting the lines in a meaningful way - that's the tricky part. Partly due to selection bias, partly due to us seeing what we want to see (confirmation bias). Then there's the issue of correlating performance (or lack of) with any number of things that could be affecting it - diet, sleep, stress, body cycle, weather, the phase of mars, etc.

Your latest avatar is, um, different. I have a different mental image of you.

Ok, that's somewhat better. But you're still better looking than that. Come on - WE know what Marija looks like.
