Well, here it is! So far I've walked about five miles between yesterday and today, all while checking email, catching up on th news, even playing World of Warcraft. In fact, I'm walking right now! I'm thrilled with how the desk came out, it was easier to put together than I expected. You can check out more pictures here. Enjoy!

Walking and working


Just bought a treadmill yesterday and got it set up in my office. My goal is to create a treadmill desk like this so I can walk and work at the same time. I threw some cardboard over it this afternoon to make a desk for my laptop and have been walking for over an hour now. It's surprisingly easy! I plan to get a piece of wood or acrylic to use as the desktop and to mount my monitor to the wall instead of using the laptop, but for the moment, even this simple set up is pretty effective. Plus now I don't have to bother buying a new office chair!
