Motorized desk at work. Can lower it if needed, usually standing usage. Have a chair ready if you like doing phone calls that way, I'm tall enough that if I'm on the phone while standing everyone can hear me. (5ft cube walls). At home I have a hand crank adjusted standing desk that gets lowered for gaming. I get hamstring problems from some office chairs and haven't had problems after migrating to the standing desks.

zogger writes in his journal, "The guy who put together the concept of geographical location combined with cheap transportation leading to 'like trades with like' and the rise of superindustrial trading blocs has won the Nobel economics science prize.

Reader yoyoq adds that Krugman's career choice was inspired by reading Asimov's Foundation series at a young age.
