Thank you very much.

Picking your nose, saying thank you, kissing your partner on the cheek.

Rolling your eyes behind your mom's back.

Life is a jumble of gestures, sayings, emotions and sounds.

Think of them as notes on a page or members of an orchestra or even data points.

Individually, they don't say much.

But put them all together and they can tell the story of your day, your life, a beautiful melody,

or maybe something far more complex and layered.

A story about our deepest, weirdest selves.

It's note to self, the tech show about being human.

I'm a new summer ody.

And this week, how data can spark the imagination and how compiling and parsing the little things in your life

can lead to some serious self discovery, maybe even a deep friendship and some gorgeous art.

And we're going to do it with sound actually and with guidance from these two extremely creative minds.

Hi, I'm Georgia Lupi, I'm Italian, but I live in New York.

I am formally trained as an architect, but I work as an information designer.

I'm Stephanie Posseveg, I'm an American living in London, and I am an information designer.

Over the course of a year, Georgia and Stephanie collected personal data points and they turned them into postcards,

complete with an old-fashioned stamp.

So these postcards would crisscross the ocean, kind of like delivering a chapter of an autobiography, but told through data.

To really get this, you need to understand that these postcards are like nothing you've ever seen.

Each one is hand drawn full of brightly colored symbols like arrows, dots and lines, musical notes, stars, even coat hangers.
