I am yet another of your thousand (or more) fans. I stumbled upon this blog just a few weeks ago and since then I try and read your posts whenever possible for me (my hectic schedule at work leaves me little time to read blogs, but I try!). It's been a great discovery, coming across this blog. I earnestly hope you are better soon. Like all the others here, I too am rooting for you! Cheers, -TJ Get well soon, Doc!

Standing for me is much more comfortable than sitting on anything but the most comfortable chair. But sitting on a good chair, with the screen and the keyboard both at the right height, is what has worked best for a long time. I have that at home in Santa Barbara, where we designed my office around a work surface that was the ideal height, where I have a nice big screen, and where I have a new Herman-Miller Ergon chair (which I prefer to the company's more modern Aeron chairs). Here in Massachusetts I have the laptop at the right height, and a bluetooth keyboard and USB mouse down at the correct angle just above my legs; but the chair is a garage sale special with a cushion that's flattened with age. I'm hunting for a new or used Ergon right now, in addition to the stand-up desk, which I'm getting used from a friend, who is bringing his old one over.

Thanks. As for Brad Feld's treadputer, if somebody comes up with one that runs Linux, that would be most cool. More good suggestions. Thanks.

Nothing like sitting on regular chairs and not as tiring as standing. Try sitting on a 85cm diameter exercise ball Doc – they are cheap and fantastic to use.

Speed is a nice addition. As for getting boring, I doubt it. Maybe you will get a few new readers with the "stand up blogging" tips. I guess there are a few people who could use those.
