Fitbit

I love my Fitbit pedometer. I ought to stop saying that, as a little message lights up when you pick it up and recently it has been "CUDDLE ME" or "SMOOCHIES" rather than the more fitness-oriented "WALKIES" or "GOOOOAAAAL".

I walked it back from the cinema this evening, and can see on its activity log the ten minutes for which it was lying on the street as it fell off my trousers and I walked back and forth looking for it while not logging any steps. Cool. I am glad to have it back.

Glad you and your sweetie found each other again!

It's back to "LOVE YA" this morning. There is a setting where you can get it to stop talking to you. I might do that before it gets to "LET ME COME TO BED WITH YOU - I MONITOR SLEEP TOO, YOU KNOW" then "I FEEL USED".

Too funny!

It says "love ya"? That's a little disturbing, really: right on the line between support/encouragement and creepy electronic stalker.

On the other hand, the sleep monitoring is really cool.

This reminds me that we need superglue to fix Dan's pedometer - the attachment bit snapped. You know that it drizzled heavily most of Friday afternoon...I walked the long way home from town through that with no umbrella and my boots have only just dried out (must buy some new ones).
