Gadget shenanigans - wild inaccuracies, crazy calorie counts and more!
Well, I actually just wanted to ask a question about my phone, but I don't mind if it goes off-rail with crazy stories and cat gifs. (I'm allergic to cats, but I do love cat gifs.) Anyway, my workplace is starting a step challenge on Monday with a $500 prize for the winner. I was a bit surprised to find out that my Samsung…

heart rate tracker/fitbit type thing? advice?
I've been thinking about investing in a fitbit-type device, but the actual fitbit, and its counterparts, seem to only track steps and sleep, and not other types of activity or a heart rate.

Working in retail: how do you log it?
I'm curious to know if there's anyone else here who works in retail and how they log their day. I often do 8.5 hour shifts behind the register, and of course I'm not standing still all that time; I'm walking, I'm ducking in and out, twisting and turning, stepping forward and back - if I am outside in the garden huts of our…
