My New Stand-Up Desk

икони цениI’ve just set up a little stand-up workstation in my office in order to get me off my butt. It basically consists of a MacBook Air connected to a Magic Mouse and Logitech Keyboard as well as an old monitor I had that is connected via display port. There’s very little to connect and disconnect – I can leave the keyboard’s receiver plugged in (or I could just get a Bluetooth keyboard later) and the screen mirroring on OS X is superb.

I topped it all off with a FREDRIK Ikea computer desk built with an odd configuration. The top shelf is at eye level and the main desk about 10 inches below. It’s been a little odd so far – I’m basically recreating an experience that millions experience every day, namely working on my feet – but it seems like things will sort themselves out. I may also install a trampoline in front of it, for more of a workout. Thoughts?

    Dear John,

    I am trying to contact an editor, or someone at the SlushPile website, but the address given: SlushPile.Net is not working at the moment…

    Is there another way of contacting?

    Thank you for your assistance…

    Warm regards,

    Richard Jacoby

    We have heard a lot about these standing desks. Some of our gurus like to use them. They can reduce certain problems like back issues, but seem to cause a lot of pivoting and shifting. What is cool is that they are so easy to create. There are people out there who just stick end tables on desks and open shop. Pretty impressive.
