Simple Data Logging

I need a device that will monitor a single digital input (auxiliary contact of motor starter). The "device" must store the start time and date along with the time running for each incident. The hope is to be able to plug in to this device with a laptop to copy out the data for use in Excel, etc. Anyone do anything like this? Looking for a relatively inexpensive way to do this. Thanks!

Something like this?
