I've dumped my SMS logs into my IMAP mailbox since 2010. I've used the "History Trends" browser extension and religiously archive my browser history. I store client IP addresses and timestamps from my IMAP server as another data-point on my physical location in the world (i.e. what network my phone is connected to when it checks-in for email). My credit card transactions dump to email as well. EXIF from photos is helpful but I haven't automated dumping those into my email. Most of my personal "note taking" is either time tracking entries for Customer billing or emails sent to myself with keywords in the subject line and the notes in the body. I wish I could get at my phone's (iPhone) browser history, call database, and location services database easily to amalgamate into my "digital life panopticon" too. I love being able to search over even this limited corpus of data. I can "remember" where I was and what I was doing on a given day pretty easily. I discovered that I can often get "organic" recollection when I prime my brain with a few context details gleaned from the digital corpus. ("I was at xxx site that day, I had lunch at yyy restaurant, and when I got back I looked at these websites... Ah, and now I remember what Bob and I talked about that afternoon!") I'd love to have audio and low frame-rate video recording on my person during all my waking hours. If I had that, though, I'd keep it completely secret (and use parallel reconstruction if I need to divulge "memories" gleaned from it to others).
