What do you use for an ergonomic workstation?

story imageFirst it was ergonomic keyboards and mice, then ergonomic keyboard trays and lumbar-support chairs. Standing desks came next, and as XKCD points out, we're not done yet. No surprise then, that the SXSW event led to display of some new ideas, such as Martin Keen's new Leaning chair, basically a repurposed tractor seat posted at an angle.

How do you stay comfortable for the 23.5 hours that you are parked in front of a computer? And with all this ergonomic stuff, when will the madness end?

Here's another thumbs up for the Kinesis. I bought one and consider it one of the best computing purchases I ever made. I wrote about it here and wrote another bit here about how to get a Kinesis to be useful with emacs. That, with a trackball, feels great.

I've had a hell of a lot less luck with desks and chairs. I've tried raising my desk to no avail, have tried using a yoga ball as a desk chair, have tried raising my monitor, etc. Nothing feels comfortable. No idea what I'm looking for, but I notice my neck getting stiff at the end of the day, so a change in posture would be appreciated. Meanwhile, I set a timer for 30 minute intervals and get the hell out of my chair and do some stretches. Better than nothing.
