I caught the Wolfline in to work, and my only meeting today was our weekly INS Working Team Meeting in the afternoon, which was pretty productive.
At lunch time, I walked over to Schaub Hall for a turkey bacon taste-testing, about which I'm going to do a public posting, and for which I received a $20 Target gift card. On the way there, I was struck by rows and rows of flags that had been put out on the lawn in front of Witherspoon in advance of Veteran's Day this weekend.
I walked back to DH Hill, where I caught a bus down to the Bell Tower and then walked over to Harris Teeter, bought some coffee, and walked back to my office, getting a nice, long walk in for lunch.
After work, I went to the gym, where I did 200 crunches−100 upper abs, 100 lower abs, and all with 20 pounds of weights on the machine. I followed that up with an upper body workout.
I got to Bob's at about 8:15, where we ate popcorn and Raisinets, and watched a movie.

Reconstructing my day…
Thursday, November 8, 2012
What was on my personal calendar?
What was on my work calendar?
Were there any notes on my phone?
Were they any photos on my phone?
How did I get to work?
Did I eat lunch out?
Did I get a lunch walk in?
Did I get to the gym tonight?
What did I do at the gym?

Broader questions…How did I get to this multimedia, multigadget place?
How many more disparate devices and sources will I be drawing from in 5 years?
What’s a good balance between documenting your life and living your life?
If I can reconstruct my days like this, can’t:Advertisers?
A stalker?
The police?Wait for it…
