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.
Ugh. So sorry you have to deal with that, but glad that you found out right away. - Jennifer Dittrich
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. - Louis Gray
Good grief! That's crazy. :( - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from Android
How does that even happen? - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Yikes! What a pain! - Anne Bouey
Ugh. Didn't you post about another case of theft / fraud a year ago or so, Louis? - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
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. - Louis Gray
Oh, that's what it was, thanks. Three years ago? Time flies 1st class. - Micah
I am the oldest of five. #saturdayff

Mobile Data Goes Up, Phone Calls Go Down, Can't Explain That
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. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
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. - Louis Gray
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.

Was this manager well respected? - Louis Gray
:) That's most of why we usually go the other direction. - Louis Gray

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.

A screensaver! But is it compatible with TiVo boxes, everywhere. Happy birthday, Stephen. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Thank you, Louis! That photo was more than 7 years ago... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
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. - Erik Retallick
Look at that happy face! :) - Kelli H.

No no no! Damn. RIP CN. :( - bde from Android
So sad. RIP Allen - your recent journey to good health inspired me very much. - Laura Norvig from iPhone
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.

Hahaha! - Anne Bouey
All of the leg and probably a good portion of something else too. - Derrick

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. :)
Have a great trip, sir! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Just another boring Wednesday, huh?

Heh. I had lunch with Hunter last week and he mentioned he'd be posting this. - Kevin Fox
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.

Time to get some sleep Louis. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Good work! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Sleep is unproductive and a waste of time. But I bet Stephen can see how close we got to his house! - Louis Gray
Sarah did the 4 miles on foot as well? - Nils Sandin
She did. She has been routinely walking 4-5 miles once a weekend, starting around 7 am at a 2.5 mph pace. - Louis Gray
HUGE CONGRATS to Jandy and Jonathan on the arrival of their daughter tonight. FriendFeed doesn't just spark friendships, but families. Amazing. :)

OMG, fantastic news, congratulations to the cutest couple ever. Dang, how the time does fly. - Laura Norvig from iPhone
"What are we going to do today?", the kids ask. "The same thing we do every day", I answer. Walk a ridiculous amount and then post our stats online. /via http://runkeeper.com/user...

What? No taking over of the world? - Julian
I used to do that with my daughter, but I called it "going shopping" and there was no posting of stats online. And my grandmother did the same with me. She also called it "going shopping". - April Russo
How old are your kids again? The longest I've walked with my 3 year old is less than a mile, and it took as around 40-45 minutes... - Juan Pablo González
