Mike Pilgrim and IKEA Poäng

Mike “Dive into” Pilgrim interviewed on usethis.com about his home setup. (via HN) One of curious things was that he sits on IKEA Poäng.

As one commenter noted:

I like the Poäng chair from IKEA, but I don’t know how anyone can sit in it all day long at a desk. It’s a lounge chair.

Mark’s answer:

And I don’t know how anyone can sit in a desk chair all day long.

Here’s how it works: wireless mouse on a table next to me. Keyboard on my lap (with the wire plugged into a front-side USB port). Feet up on the matching Poang footstool. Monitors about six feet away from me on a regular desk. Appropriate text sizes in Emacs and terminal, and appropriate zoom levels in Chromium. (Chromium remembers per-site zoom levels automatically.)

And finally a photo (via):
