Quantified Self Interviews – Joost Platel
Let me announce that I’m going to start this (monthly) Quantified Self Interviews.
The first guest is Joost Plattel, an Amsterdam based Data Strategist, and one of the co-organizers of the QS Europe event (and a lot of other things).
Sorry for the audio, that is not very good - please tell me a good Mac Skype call recorder (for free or less than 5$).
But “lets ship it!”, they say:
