Captivity Revamp

After a few days of trying to track my time outside, I’ve run into a few snafu’s.

• My Garmin Forerunner GPS doesn’t have enough battery power to make it through a full day (especially on the weekend - Memorial Day picnics prooved this to be a major challenge).
• I was amazed at how little time I spent outside, and realized it may be even more powerful to demonstrate ALL time spent outside.
• Waiting for a GPS to find the satellites when I first went outside was a pain.
• As cool as a wrist-mounted GPS is, being a computer worker on a laptop all day rendered a large clunky thing on my wrist a pain

So, here is my even more simplified revision of Project Captivity:

• Track ALL time outside, even time walking to car
• Don’t worry about additional weather, distance, etc information
• I bought a cheap digital wristwatch to help track the time each.

Also, there is a project page up now too. I’ve started a graph that I’ll be updating so you can see the day-to-day progress.
