An app I'd like: track my mood, hormones, blood sugar, etc, and make suggestions to stabilize my mood, energy & concentration. #cyborgcamp
Because social tech is so personal, everyone has different rules of etiquette in communication. Why can't software bridge these? #cyborgcamp
Most social technologies strip consent from our interactions - and therefore control. Consent is important throughout society. #cyborgcamp
Google and #CyborgCamp are the two places I've ever heard the euphemism "bio break". #toilet
"You can't have perspective and be unkind. It's impossible. So is all information worth saving? Yes." @chrisdancy #cyborgcamp #indiewebcamp
"If you look into your phone with the screen off, you see your reflection. If you turn it on, you disappear." Black mirror. #cyborgcamp
"If you really want to live in the future, climb into a cave and start writing on rocks. It lasts." - @chrisdancy #cyborgcamp
Everything not saved will be lost.

"A picture is worth 1000 data points." @chrisdancy talking about identity as a collection of "data moments". #cyborgcamp
"It struck me that Walgreens looked like a Genius Bar." Moving to a world of self-service medical technology. @chrisdancy #cyborgcamp
"Existence as a platform." The most quantified human on Earth, @chrisdancy, takes the stage. #cyborgcamp
Implanting magnets in my fingers makes me squeamish, but I'd love to experience the effects. Gloves? Something else? #cyborgcamp
Biocompatibility: an implanted device can function as designed without any adverse local or systemic effects in the host. #cyborgcamp
This is an eye-opening talk about biohacking and the design of augmentary biological technology by @debcha. #cyborgcamp
Biohacking seems related to transplantation. The latter swaps in new organs for better function; the former adds new function. #cyborgcamp
"Grinding" in the context of body modification is a new, visceral, term for me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biohacking #cyborgcamp
Great distinction: choice vs user interfaces that enforce their own assumptions on the user. Rigidity vs configurable defaults. #cyborgcamp
Speaking of calm technology (or the reverse), my phone is vibrating my jacket pocket at a rate of about three times a minute. #cyborgcamp
A person's primary task should not be computing. [...] A computer's primary task should not be being human. - @caseorganic #cyborgcamp
Narrative cameras are much calmer than Glass - but I still find them kind of creepy. Taking pictures all day long. #cyborgcamp
Privacy is the ability to not be surprised. - @caseorganic (I'd argue that this is control.) #cyborgcamp
Privacy can also be a feeling or perception of security. This perception of security can be designed. - @caseorganic #cyborgcamp
