On: Mark Pilgrim on The Setup

[RK]

I like the Poäng chair from IKEA, but I don't know how anyone can sit in it all day long at a desk. It's a lounge chair.

And I don't know how anyone can sit in a desk chair all day long.

Here's how it works: wireless mouse on a table next to me. Keyboard on my lap (with the wire plugged into a front-side USB port). Feet up on the matching Poang footstool. Monitors about six feet away from me on a regular desk. Appropriate text sizes in Emacs and terminal, and appropriate zoom levels in Chromium. (Chromium remembers per-site zoom levels automatically.)

Maybe he has one of those ergonomic keyboard trays which would allow him to work at that angle.
