Recording your worko uts\, diet and/or weight? Using a Fitbit\, Withings scale\, or heart-rat e monitor? \;\nQuantified Self is "\;self-knowledge through num bers"\; and we want to hear your self-tracking stories! Sign up to g ive a talk. Our content comes from our community. Show us your graphs\, spreadsheets\, biometric devices\, practical solutions and crazy notions . They are all welcome. We focus on real self-tracking projects involvin g your personal data. \;\n \;\nOr just bring your enthusiasm and c ome to marvel and learn with us. Sharing is not required if you're just curious to see what this is about! \;\n \;\n \;\nAgenda: \ ;\n \;\n• 6 to 6:30 pm: Doors open. Social time. This is an opportuni ty to meet other self-trackers and catch up with friends. \;\n \;\ n• 6:30 to 7 pm: Group Mind. Do you have a tool that you’re working on\, or a self-tracking idea that you want feedback on? The format for Group Mind is 2.5 minutes to talk about your question\, project\, issue\, pro posal or challenge and 2.5 minutes to solicit ideas and brainstorming fr om our members. It is a great way to kick-start or problem-solve your QS issue. You’ll be able to sign up to participate on the day of the event . \;\n \;\n• 7 to 8 pm: Scheduled Show &\; Tell talks. These ar e 7 minute talks with 5 minutes for questions. This is the meat &\; p otatoes of QS meetups. This is an opportunity to share your story with y our peers. Please contact us in advance if you want to give one. \;\n \;\n• 8 to 8:30 pm: Walk-on Show &\; Tell talks. These are 5 minu tes with time for a couple questions. They are signed up for on the day of the event\, using a sheet at the welcome table. We’ll go through as m any as we can\, time permitting. \;\n \;\n• 8:30 pm onward: The di scussion continues over drinks at a pub to-be-named later! This is a goo d opportunity to talk with presenters or follow-up on an issue that came up in the Group Mind. If you can join us\, I very much encourage you to do so. Not only is it good fun\, but the conversations are invigorating . \;\n \;\nIf you're interested in doing a Show &\; Tell\, plea se mention it in your RSVP or email the organizers in advance. If we hea r from you before the meetup\, you’ll have a little more time and be gua ranteed to talk. You can also sign up on the day of the event as a walk- on. \;\n \;\nA note if you plan on presenting: don’t think that th is needs to be a TED Talk. We call it Show &\; Tell for a reason. Thi s is just like first grade. All you have to do is come up\, show us some thing and tell us about it. You can use slides if you want\, but it is n ot required. \;\n \;\nOne thing that will help with your talk is t o structure it around these three questions: What did you do? How did yo u do it? What did you learn? Remember\, sharing is important and valuab le even if you share your failures - you never know when someone else wi ll be trying the same thing and you can help them avoid the mistakes tha t you made! We want to hear your personal stories\, and that means real ly human things like struggling with motivation\, experiencing setbacks\ , and hopefully\, every so often\, having a flash of insight! Keep it in formal. Keep it honest. You're in a safe place. \;\n \;\nIt helps to watch videos of previous QS talks. This link explains why these thre e questions make for a good talk. \;\n \;\nFinally\, thanks to our friends at PuppetLabs for providing the space. And feel free to tweet a t the event - #QuantifiedSelf #QSPDX \;\n \;\nWe can't wait to see you there!\n\nTags: self-tracking\, quantifiedself\, qspdx\, self-exper imentation\, bio-hacking\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1 250464795 URL:http://www.meetup.com/PDX-Quantified-Self/events/136825772/ SUMMARY:Quantified Self Show & Tell LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
