Weekly output: teens online (x2), Foursquare

This year has one last full workweek left, which seems like quite enough after everything else that 2024 has served up.

12/10/2014: Teens: Online Time Improves Our Well-Being, Though We Could Use More Sleep, PCMag

After spending Monday at the Family Online Safety Institute’s annual conference in D.C., I wrote up the surprisingly positive results of a survey that organization ordered up about teenage attitudes about time spent online. Lest people point to the Google sponsorship of this report to invalidate its results, I noted other studies that found similar results.

Two days later, I wrote up another study of online teenagers–but this one didn’t ask how they felt about where they spent that connected time.

12/14/2014: Foursquare City Guide Checks Out, Shuts Down Its App, PCMag

Just released strava-ical 1.0.0 and foursquare-swarm-ical 1.0.0.

These tools export Strava activities and Foursquare Swarm checkins to iCal that can be imported into any calendar app.

🏃 → 🗓
🚴 → 🗓
🍺 → 🗓
🍕 → 🗓

If you, like me, happen to use those services for lifelogging, these two tools make it super easy and convenient to see what you’ve been up to in the past. Just open your calendar and it’s all there.
