Loose weight now! Introducing the Treadmill Desk!
I recently shook up my gym routine. I decided I needed more cardio. You know, all that time behind a desk at work, behind a book at school (well, hundreds of books). Of course, the problem might have nothing to do with the gym. When trying to shove three lives into the space of one, why not blame my faux-obesity on my “outdated” work desk?
Imagine my delight when running across the Treadmill Desk! Jason Kotke brings us today’s innovation, explaining that “some people now work at walking desks, standing-height desks outfitted with treadmills.”
Although this isn’t an entirely new idea, the timing is particularly rich: I am preparing to start a thesis exploring the ways in which technologies and users essentially create each other. While I won’t be studying ergonomics, I can’t help but wonder: If my desk has created my hunched back, will these new desks create (as Kotke reports) thin World of Warcraft addicts?
Here is some video to drive the point home:

Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking the time and actual effort to generate
a top notch article… but what can I say… I
hesitate a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.
