These ideas generalize into a wider life-as-experiment perspective, and I'd like to link to my response and outline of how it all might fit together here: The Experiment-Driven Life (http://www.matthewcornell.org/2010/06/the-experiment-driven-life.html). Also, we're working on a tool for self-experimenters, called Edison (http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/). Great stuff! I think this work is important, and Gary’s piece was seminal.

A service that generated reports in as much detail, and beautiful would be extremely valuable. There are many obstacles to get to that point. Your.Flowingdata at http://your.flowingdata.com/ is the closest I know of, but requires the data in Twitter. An extreme example of where I could see this lead to is http://vimeo.com/8569187 The annual reports by Nicholas Felton at http://feltron.com/ are examples of self-tracking done right.
