  1. Full-spectrum lights + windows & egronomics by shpoffo · · Score: 1 · on What Kind of Office Space Do You Want to Work In?

    kinda like my office. i really have to be thankful that my employers worked with me on the lighting in my office. i've left a company or two in large part because of the conditions of work (flourescent lights, bad chairs, bad monitors, etc)
    my current setup is pretty rigged:

    Lumichrome 1XX CRI 98/6500K (go for teh UV, you can pick up the missing IR with full-spectrum incandescents)
    Aeron Ergonomic Chair from Herman-Miller
    Effektiv funrishings
    SGI Flatpanel monitor Split keyboardfrom Microsoft
    Logitech Mouse
    3 windows that face north

    i'm not bringing all this up to show off my setup here, but moreover so that people can see what a reasonable healty office stocks.

    we also use 4200k (i think) flourescents for general hallways/etc.

    much of this equipment is a little pricey - i had to split some of it with my employers. but unless you're employers outright don't care about your health then they shoudl at least be amenable to you bringing in your own equipment. you'll pay extra for the quality, but when you're in you're office you'll know where that money went.

  2. workspace research by table+and+chair · · Score: 2 · on What Kind of Office Space Do You Want to Work In?

    There's some interesting research into this subject going on at Herman Miller, which has led to things like Resolve and Aeron.

    I imagine the "no clutter" policy will last as long as it takes for the architect to get his shots for Architectural Review, and then the workers can get back to filling their workspaces with faxed cartoons and stuffed aminals. ;)

  6. i don't buy it... by schmack · · Score: 1 · on The Back Station Reclining Work Desk
    i'll take an Aeron chair any day over that piece of rubbish. These "Alien Furniture Technology" guys seem to be taking ergonomic lesson's from 1960s space rocket interiors... hmmm. My back's hurting already.

    Why look like some kind of in-joke from The Matrix when you could work in style coutesy of Eames and his genius pals [for a fraction of the price, I might add]?

    And where exactly am I supposed to put the 800 page O'Reilly tome on Sendmail?
