June is a good month for learning (too hot outside anyways…), so dragged my tired overheated body to the well airconditioned premises of Google Campus Seoul as they’ve organized Global Experts Week and a few sessions seemed pretty interesting.

There are so many positively crazy people in the world doing super interesting experiments which fall under the category of #lifelogging that we thought to start sharing those stories with you, guys. Of course, some of these experiments were never thought of as lifelogging or #QuantifiedSelf – they were made years ago when both terms were not […]
