Actually, depending on where you live, now could be a great time to refinance your mortgage or take out a second one. Look into the concept of leverage sometime.

> At this point I decided it was a bad idea to stand all the time and switched to 2 week standing/sitting cycles. Well there's your problem. You should alternate every couple hours, not every couple weeks . Buy a tall stool or

I don't need to know you better, I'm just more honest about who you are.

I wonder if Mozilla will put up a fight over the name now that they could be directly competing. FireFly also sounds very similar to FireBug.

Regardless of how many links you've posted (it's also in your profile), the point still stands: You want people to read your blog. The simple fact that you have a public blog on the internet demonstrates that, even if you never po

Are you really trying to pretend that you don't care if people read your blog even though you link to it here all the time? If there were an olympic event for mental gymnastics, you'd be dominating right now.

I think your eagerness to pat yourself on the back has caused you to miss the main point of the article. Congrats on your geocities thing, I guess?

Funny how you assume headphones are the only thing anyone ever plugs into a headphone jack.

Agreed, it's amazing how pervasive this myth is despite the glaring flaw you mentioned. The last time there was a suitable control group was during the Vietnam war, when people flocked to colleges based on their draft number rather tha

These articles never ask the questions that really matter, e.g.: Do colleges create high-income earners, or are they just good at selecting future high-income earners to bilk out of $100k? And do those graduates get high-paying jobs because

Only one height? And they claim it fits anyone from 5'2" to 6'2" tall? I'm 6'3" and my girlfriend is 5'5". Watching her try to use my standing desk is comical. I think those guys are being extrem

So spend $200 and get a drafting chair. You'd still be saving a couple hundred bucks.

$500!? Plus shipping!? You can make a standing desk with $100 worth of Ikea parts then buy a tall stool/chair for $75 on Amazon. Bam, just beat your "most affordable" sit/stand desk by $325+. Oh, and you can have it next

The author never thought to get a drafting chair so he could continue working while sitting? Mind boggling...

In an industry with a fetish for stand-up desks, you are a true rebel.

If they wanted to use an honor system, they wouldn't have a paywall at all. The two are mutually exclusive. They want to encourage people to pay without forcing them, because the latter would result in a significant decrease in the
