[Fudgy Science Episode 003] A Markov chain of my daily activities

- - -
Here's a diagram showing what I do on a high level.  

An arrow pointing from A to B, with a number N at the origin of the arrow, indicates that if I'm found in State A at a given time, there is a probability of N that I would be found in State B about 30 minutes later.

If you find a prettier Markov chain, please show me where it is.

More detailed description of the states, with steady states (expected time spent per day) according to Markov chain matrix calculations...
