My usual morning weigh-in showed a new low today, so Fitbit sent me an email. Apparently, I'm down just over 30 pounds since I started tracking back in May. I'm pretty sure this is as low as I need to go. If you're not already on Fitbit, and you're the competitive type (like me), this can really help you meet your goal.

I spent a decade tracking most everything (Louis: if you dig around in ~fitz/amitp you can probably even find a blog post “how many different people I talked to in a week vs. what kind of office I was in”), and am now enjoying not tracking anything. I think I'm burned out on tracking things. :(
- Amit Patel
It's okay, Amit! My level of crazy is not for everyone. And yes, I'll dig in (after I finish this preso). :)
- Louis Gray
I do have a Jawbone UP (not as cool as Fitbit, I'm guessing) but we'll see how long it lasts before I get tired of it. ;) I'm ok with passive tracking (Google Latitude History is interesting) but I'm too lazy to put in any data like eating or exercise or weight. I guess WiThings might be useful.

Congrats, Louis!

Congratulations.
- Betsy #TeamMonique
30 pounds is quite impressive. :)
- Amit Patel
Congratulations! Apparently you didn't follow my strategy of losing it and then finding it again over the winter months!

Darn you Louis, I found 7 of your pounds and I want you to take them back right now!

There has been an Amit Patel sighting on the Google campus! (As confirmed via pictures with my car) Let the rumors commence that I am wooing him back to the fold. Or simply say it was great to catch up with this excellent FriendFeeder in real life. Thanks for joining me, Amit.

Vegetables are unproductive and a waste of time.
- Amit Patel
Ok, so no vegetables and no sleep, if you want to be productive and not waste time. Time to get a PICC for the caffeine.
- Gimminy
I actually enjoy sleep quite a bit, and credit it (along with shorter working hours) for most of my creativity and productivity :)
- Amit Patel
OK, dreams are all very creative, granted. But barring any telepathic advances, the rest of us don't get to enjoy your dreams. Please try to stay awake from now on.

You know your friend qualifies for geek status when they text you they are on their way to lunch and include a real time map showing you their turn by turn progress. I approve.

I like Glympse. I use it to keep my wife updated of traffic conditions during my evening commute so she can figure out whether I'll make it home in time for dinner and/or Violet's bedtime. (My commute takes about 30 minutes with no traffic and 90 minutes at the worst of times)

I like Glympse for meeting people; I use Latitude for my wife to check on my commute.

Today I walked through the LinkedIn parking lot as a shortcut between Google buildings. While walking through, I read a personalized license plate which I recognized as one I've seen while taking the kids on walks past the park. As a result, I know where this mystery person lives and works, but not who they are. How odd is that?

My Morning Buddy. Sarah got up at 7, and instead of letting her terrorize her brothers, I took off. We put in more than 13,000 steps by 10 a.m., met two beagles, grabbed breakfast, and were gifted a free balloon from a used car dealership! Win.

This is Comcast Business Class. It's not cheap, but we were having real problems on residential, and this has really helped. Got it installed Tuesday.
- Louis Gray
Surprised you sprang for the most expensive option! Isn't one notch down a much, much better deal?

27 < 50.
- Louis Gray
Could've gone for the actual most expensive option (100). Only $400/mth!
- Jonathan Disher
^ That's the one we have (one of three internet connections in my house - Comcast Business, Comcast Residential, and AT&T U-Verse). Personally I'm a bigger fan of the SLA that comes with business class than I am with the speeds. I like that if anything goes wrong, my stuff is fixed ASAP and free of charge. :D

I'd go with DSL except I'm too far from a CO (downside of living in Cupertino), and line quality is garbage.
- Jonathan Disher
We are *super* lucky. We can see our CO from our backyard. When we first moved there, DSL was really the only game in down because cable was meh. We had a field day trying out different providers. :)
- Hookuh Tinypants
I didn't go to Business Class, but I just upgraded to Blast. Waiting for the order to take effect. Luckily my constant bitching on Twitter got me an DOCSIS 3.0 modem upgrade so I can update to a different 30Mb tier than is not normally available in the area.
- Eric - seven eleven
My Comcast Business class used to be that fast or even faster. I have seen up to 100Mb download, I had this for several years. But a few months ago they started capping in my area. Now I get 20Mb max down and 4Mb max up which is what they advertized for the service I pay for...
