Here Kevin Arnovitz’s post today on Truehoop:

The fact that these things are knowable — passing shot vs. lob, longer grocery line with a bagger vs. a shorter one without — doesn’t mean they warrant too much attention. Trying to quantify every detail of your waking life is paralyzing.

But the prospect that we might get to know all these things we used to guess at — it’s tantalizing.

And that’s the point of the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference on Saturday. That’s why I’m on my way there right now, and why TrueHoop and the TrueHoop Network plan to cover it like it’s the Super Bowl. More of that kind of knowledge is in all of our futures — in sports, public policy, Wall Street and maybe even your weekly grocery run.

I am actually in Boston right now, so check the site out tomorrow.  I am going to have some stuff from the conference.
