		<description>Good idea.  I always change my environment around--and I get up a lot.  But that might work too.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going to kick in an idea I&#039;m experimenting with right now.

Currently, my &quot;office&quot; is the kitchen table, because it was the most comfortable for long-term writing.  

Then I read this: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_19/b4177071221162.htm?campaign_id=rss_topStories (The title is &quot;Your Office Chair is Killing You&quot;)

Yep, I realized that I was sitting on my derriere too much.  So now I&#039;m experimenting with no chair at all.  I&#039;ve got a stool on said table to raise my computer to typing height, and I&#039;m seeing how long I can work standing.  

Logically, it seems like a good idea, but all I can recommend at the moment is some way to work standing as a way to switch up your routine, especially if you are prone to numb-butt-itis, as I am.  I have yet to find a chair I enjoy sitting in all day, and I&#039;ve tried quite a few.

I also have some minor training in chinese martial arts, so I&#039;m seeing whether this is a way to practice stance training and get useful work done simultaneously.  We&#039;ll see how it goes.

This may be filed under multitasking, as in exercising and writing simultaneously.</description>

		<description>Sounds wonderful, John.  I&#039;m not sure my husband should see this.  Every now and then he threatens to sell everything, buy us a motorhome, and just drive.  Sounds like you&#039;re doing well.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to comment on my office. I am a software developer specializing in iPhone development. We also live in our motorhome, so our house is wherever we are parked. My current office is sitting on my porch with a fire going in the firepit. My office view is the Siskiyou Mountains. 

Sometimes my office is in a Starbucks. And sometimes it&#039;s inside the motorhome.

A bit unique, but it works for me.</description>
