You can tell the day I started playing pokemon go! It's been good for getting me to walk more. If anyone still plays and wants more friends, my trainer code is 3797 7446 4446

Also, I've long felt that this phone seems to under count steps/ distance traveled. Today I walked around with 2 phones, and the other said I'd gone 5.2km while this one said 4.7.

What the heck, discord? I was asleep, phone sitting on my beside table.

I just did one of the coolest things I've ever done! I participated in a research study regarding hand eye coordination and stroke recovery. I was in a fancy machine that could both record my movements, and move my arms for me. It was also tracking my eye movements (that's what the dot on my forehead is for). The researcher especially needs adults 40+ to be age-matched controls for people who have had strokes.
