One of the "choose your own adventure" decks used during my 2011 Ohio LinuxFest talk, "Level-up with Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics: Turn your Life into a Data-Driven Video Game with FOSS," which is about using FOSS tools and practices to support life-gamification -- putting behavorial psychology to work on your brain as a platform. The talk was a nonlinear narrative, so if you've just stumbled across this one, check out my other talks with the olf-2011 tag and start with the one called "Level-Up Main Talk" -- you'll know when it's time to branch out to the other decks.
