What are some good statistics to sum up a year?

Asked by bluemukaki (4332points) December 10th, 2010

I know what you’re thinking: five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes. But no, this isn’t a question about RENT.

I’m making a series of infographics to sum up my year, because I am just that cool.

So far I have a summary of all the emails sent/received (including where the most spam originated from and keywords), which countries I spent the most time in, air and train and bus travel in kilometers (and their carbon emissions), most commonly used words on my Facebook page, Google search data, my Last.fm data, data from my public transit chipcard, how many jobs I had and when (next to the bus data so you can see what days I worked!), most common colours in my photographs taken this year.

What else can you summarise in an infographic about your year?

What other data is available in our lives that we can mine?

And the bonus metaphysical: are we only a series of numbers and calculations; can your life accurately be displayed with charts and bar graphs? Are you a robot?
