[WHAT]

1. ] I would guess that Nicholas Felton is a pioneer in the work of personal analytics. He has been publishing an annual report called the Feltron Report since 2005 that includes the results of a number of reports that he tracks about his 'life'. The reports are published in a stylish 'infographic' format and provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of a 'persons'(his) 'activities' over a period of time,
