  Combining and summarizing meta-data from various kinds of data sources is one
possible solution to the data fragmentation we are suffering from. Multiple
projects have addressed this issue already. This paper presents a new approach
named Memacs. It automatically generates a detailed linked diary of our digital
artifacts scattered across local files of multiple formats as well as data
silos of the internet. Being elegantly simple and open, Memacs uses already
existing visualization features of GNU Emacs and Org-mode to provide a
promising platform for life-logging, Quantified Self movement, and people
looking for advanced Personal Information Management (PIM) in general.
