Tweets of 2010
According to Twitter, I tweeted most often in May and unsurprisingly, most often in the afternoon and early evening.
What surprises me is that there is at least one tweet for every hour of the day. What did I tweet at 3 a.m.? I was complaining about restaurants that don’t list their hours on the front page of their websites. If I remember correctly, I was working late and trying to find...

Foursquare check-ins of 2010
According to Foursquare, I checked in at various locations exactly 300 times.

The dotted blue line shows the change in total annual spending, illustrating a 10% decline in total spending from 2009 to 2010. This actual number will...

Photo uploads of 2010
I uploaded fewer photos to Flickr in 2010 than any previous year.
The only year that comes close is 2005, but that year only includes March through December.
I would like to attribute the decline to me being more selective about which photos I upload, but my iPhoto library tells another story:
Photos in my library dated… 2008: 1,743 2009: 1,479 (a 15% decline) 2010: 623 (a 68% decline)

So I started keeping a detailed log of my practice. Time records help me find my big time sinks, and notes keep me focused on the few measures that need work when I return the next day. I really do get more done now in half or a third the time!
