Standing Desk

May 29, 2011 by Ken

Inspired by a friend, and prompted by the fact that we’re doing some furniture re-arranging, I’ve taken the plunge and switched to a standing desk.

Now as you can see from the picture, it’s nothing fancy. Indeed, it’s jury-rigged from bits and pieces we happen to have lying around the house. Not going to win any design awards, this one, but it works well enough for my purposes.

I’ve actually been thinking about doing this for a while, and I’m glad that the example of other writers finally made me go through with it.
