Project “Hobbit Walk”: The Teaser
I’m working on a new project that combines fitness, programming, and technology (the last two seem a bit redundant… but whatever).
The project is based upon the “Walk to Mordor” post on NerdFitness.com. Anybody that’s interested just needs to setup a spreadsheet on Google Docs that I can access, with some basic information:
- Date
- Steps
- Distance (in miles)
There’s a bunch of different ways to get that information logged… manually is an option, but I think that kinds sucks. Not a big deal, but it’s a pain to remember, especially when you can use something like a Fitbit with IFTTT on a smart phone (or tablet) to automate that stuff. More on that later.
If you’re interested, send me an email, say something in the comments below, or in some other way express interest to me. I’ll send you instructions on how to get started.
The application is in ALPHA testing now. Alpha testing means pre-beta… basically, that means that I’m still building it. I’m letting a handful of people in right now.
