jayparkinsonmd: I just went to my favorite local furniture shop, Two Jakes, because I’ve been looking for the past few months for a standing desk (or something that can function as a standing desk). I found this old industrial cart that can also double as a kitchen cart. It makes sense to me that sitting for over 8 hours a day on a computer must be bad for you.  I wanted a standing desk too, but I realised that either way, I still need to raise my screen, otherwise it’s still a very bad ergo issue - crouching or craning my neck down. I’ve also found out this week that having the keyboard too far away from you (ie putting laptop at the far end of the desk) produces an entirely different set of pain and aches.. so now I’m still looking for a pretty, small stand for my laptop.  My iMac G4 is actually tall enough to have the top of its screen at my eye level though!
