I took a peek at Wolfram Alpha, the Computational Knowledge Engine, and while I can’t think of any use for it in my daily life, it’s still an interesting use of data gathering and manipulation. I entered my birth date and the city of my birth and came up with the following data:
- I was born on a rainy Wednesday morning
- It was approximately 17° C / 64°F when I was born
- There were 12 hours, 17 minutes of daylight that day
- The moon phase was waning crescent moon
- It was the 262nd day of the year
- The time difference between that date and the time I ran the data scan is 40 years, 7 months, and 27 days
