Good article. I've been working from home for nearly a decade now.
One thing that I think the presentation needs to stress is the overall Feng Shui of your working space. Working from home means that you have almost complete control over the layout of your workspace.
For example, in the slides, the OP shows us his neat little custom workspace he built (in his basement?). I like the fact that he has his desk so that he faced the entrance door square on while working. For the first couple of years in my home office, I say with my back to the glass door entrance to my space, and never really felt comfortable for some inexplicable reason. Then I moved my desk around so that I (sort of) faced the door, and immediately felt much more comfortable and productive.
Tiny little things like that can make a big performance difference. Same with lighting and cooling etc., which he mentions.
One difference though is that while I don't allow 'toys' like gaming consoles in my 'office', I have sectioned off a space for my guitars and amps in there because it fuels my creativity when I am feeling burned out. Nothing like cranking the amp while waiting for a long compile or download...
