Life: Checking Outlook Recent Activity

I received an email for verification from Microsoft and was not sure what it was for. So I went onto my outlook accounts to check which one had the email address that received the verification request.

While I was at it, I checked the recent activity page. I noticed on one of my accounts a bunch of sign-in from Netherlands. I panicked a little, so I changed my password. I then checked one of my google accounts that automatically downloaded the emails and did find that the schedule matched up.

One odd part of this was that in the morning, the IP was from the US. The IP from last night was from Netherlands.

Google (US) - 209.85.214.140
Google (Netherland) - 209.85.219.14


Email

It would be nice if the email contained what address it was trying to verify.

Total Miles Driven10696
Total Gallons of Gas311.72
Total Cost of Gas$1,025.22
Gas Milage34.31
Average Price per Gallon$3.29

MPG

Gas Mileage has dropped from 35 mpg to 34.31 mpg. Now average 34.86 mpg lifetime. I'm not sure if this is due to my mom using my car for a month but somehow her mpg is much lower than mine.

Interestingly, gas price is lower than total average $3.34 and a 2012 average $3.43. 

Insurance

Premium went up $10 with Geico.

Guesstimations: Super Bowl XLVIII - Conclusions

Well, the results were surprising given all the news, rumors, and other opinions. This super bowl was expected to be close yet ended so lop-sided. The closest opinion was from someone saying that defense has won majority of the super bowl matchups.

My prediction of 37-27 (Denver) was crushed by the 43-8 (Seahawks).
