Finally signed up for WalkerTracker. The bkerr step blog records my short pedestrian lurches around town, possibly annotated with my pithy urban ranger observations.
Over the summer I picked up a pedometer as a feelie for some contract work. I’d been recording steps:
- as a crazy pixel graph made with Pixen,
- as a Python dictionary, and finally
- on paper.
This was fun, but unmutual. More recently, I was planning out a shell-to-feed script for keeping track of steps, Animal Crossing stalk market prices, etc. — but using the existing tool and maybe plugging into it later seemed prudent.
WalkerTracker is a [blog | forum | map | pedestrian-brinkmanship] site wrapped around a form where everybody types in the number of steps they took that day. It’s maintained by Ben in Portland, OR, who has several very cool projects at ideacog.net.
