I don't know whether to curse or thank my co-worker Jason. He suggested I looking into a game called Ingress that had been developed by Google originally. It's now run by a company that split off from Goggle as far as I understand.
There are a couple of other co-workers that play it here as well.
It's a fairly simple thing, but it has caused me to get out of the house more, walk around and get exercise I hadn't been getting, and I really did need.
To play it, you must have a GPS enabled device, such as an iPhone or equivalent. It's sort of a geocaching on steroids, but all the objects are virtual and you don't need to dig anything up.
It's also an amazingly social experience. I'm encouraging Laura to join as I think she is not happy with the level of friends she's developed here in Charlotte. I think Kate will enjoy this too.
I'm playing for the Enlightened. That was purely an accidental choice. Everyone in my workplace in on the green team, so I thought it would be best to join them.
This video also gives a decent idea of how it's played. I like this team as they are willing to show their mistakes and how they fixed them.
