I feel that programmers tend to avoid manually collecting data. They program computers to do it for them, or have Mint.com do it, or use products like Nike+, but there are a lot of datapoints that cannot be automated and require discipline in order to accurately collect. Some of these datasets can be extremely insightful when analyzed. Over the past year or so I've thought several times about writing a product like Daytum, although I can't tell you exactly how many times the thought occurred. I'm glad to see that somebody made this type of product.
