This week, we talked about different ways our technology uses sensors to track our activity. We talked about location services and how apps know where you are, running and cycling apps that help you keep track of distances and calories burned, as well as sleep monitoring apps to make sure you’re getting a good night’s sleep and waking up rested. I hope you enjoy the show!

Apps we talked about:

Withings Aura

Strava
Azumio Sleep Time
Sleep as Android

We are changing things up a little on Future Chat as of this week. You’ll notice that as you read this, the webcast has already happened. If you want to follow the chats live, they normally happen on Saturdays at 12:30 PM. Subscribe to Future Chat on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook or Google+ to keep up to date on when the live webcasts are happening. However, by the time you see this article now, it means that you can watch the video itself, and it also means you’ll be able to go listen to the podcast version of the episode. These should in most cases appear within 24 hours of the airing of the show.
I’d love to hear from viewers if you like this system more or less than the old way, and to everybody else, I hope you enjoy our episode on beer, which can be found below!

In this episode, we talked about beer! Nick is brewing his own beer, so we chatted about his experience and results in brewing, how you can absolutely tell beers apart by taste, and how provincial regulations are taking money from beer out of Ontario.
