I set up automated alerts from my credit card company for anything at or above $250. Today I got an alert that my card was used at Chanel for $2,125.50. Hope somebody has an amazing Mother's Day gift! Calling Chase, it turns out the card was swiped in Beverly Hills, with the person present. Joy. Card is canceled.
Exactly. Canceling is the easy part. The hard part will be finding the dozens of automatic services that usually hit the account and getting those linked correctly.

Ugh. Didn't you post about another case of theft / fraud a year ago or so, Louis?

Micah, there were fraud issues in 2010, where it looks like unknown people used my data, starting with Apple.com and then going to Amazon and Zappos. But no bumps since.

Oh, that's what it was, thanks. Three years ago? Time flies 1st class.

Hmm. My voice usage is down, but I use my cell phone for work calls, making appointments, and talking to relatives, so my trend is not nearly as extreme is yours.

My cell phone # is posted on the blog and in my email signature, and even RSS signature, via Feedburner. My #1 reason to make calls is to talk and walk while on Fitbit, but I haven't been doing that much of late, obviously.

Today, instead of heading northwest to Mountain View (again), I took the kids southeast and got all the way to Santa Clara. Sunnyvale really doesn't seem that big any more.
Happy birthday to Stephen Mack, FriendFeed's most proficient, and accurate, liker. He is loved by all, admired by many, and his works are enjoyed by all those who come in touch with them. This year, for his birthday, I am told FriendFeed has chipped in to buy him a screensaver! It will come on a floppy disk in the mail.
Does he still use a Sinclair ZX81 as well, or is that a bit too modern? I think Charles Babbage had some kind of interesting gadget that came a bit before Apple's ipad too.

So sad. RIP Allen - your recent journey to good health inspired me very much.

Today we found a lost dog, and returned it to its owner, by calling the numbers on his collar. Always a good idea to put your number on your pets! You wouldn't want to lose this cutie. :) Our kids loved him, but alas, he was returned to his rightful place.

I liked the juxtaposition on FriendFeed. One post negotiates a half inch on the leg. The other post? Well, let's just say all the leg will probably be showing.

14,500 steps by 10:30. It's called Saturday. Sarah stuck with me, with the exception of 1 mile on my shoulders. The blip in the steps was when we stopped at Nob Hill in Mountain View for donuts. Yum.
This afternoon, Matthew and I are getting on a plane and flying to Arizona to see the A's play in Spring Training for games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. On Sunday night, we'll probably have dinner with your good friends Tad and Lindsay. :)
Heh. I had lunch with Hunter last week and he mentioned he'd be posting this.

All walking and no rest makes me a tired boy. 10 miles down and 22000 steps before noon. First walk (4+ miles) with Sarah on foot, and second walk (almost 6 miles) with the boys in the stroller. Graphs from RunKeeper.
