I've long thought I probably should stand vs sit in front of the computer, but never made it happen. Now it looks like a sore tailbone will force me to, at least for a while. I have so many questions, and will appreciate any thoughts and advice.
Ideally I'll find a way to keep using my beloved Captain Kirk Chair which is ergonomic for my hands and wrists if not my butt, but maybe I'll need to mount the keyboard on a standing desk.
@judell I will not argue for staying sitting - I wish I had a standing / convertible desk, myself - but, I’ve been using coccyx cut-out cushions for quite a few years, a previous employer provided them for me specifically, e.g. https://www.posturite.co.uk/posturite-coccyx-cut-out-wedge

When consulting with Chevron more than a decade ago at their HQ, they had mechanized standing desks at every cubicle in HR.
The risk-aware culture was hyper-focused on repetitive stress injuries, driven by OSHA oversight and workman’s comp insurance premiums at downstream / upstream drilling and refining operations.
That was also the cultural norm at corporate headquarters.
I remember being shocked that an insurance company didn’t drink this Kool-Aid for its own HQ.
Brilliant. They've (yet again) discovered that people who aren't able to stand/walk much have underlying health problems that make them more likely to have a shorter life.
Though the article seems to be suggesting that desk jobs start to kill people in under 3 years.

I borrowed an #Android#Xiaomi#smartphone to see what the built-in Portrait mode could do. The result was not very good, so I tried to improve it a bit on my MacBook.
