My favorite thing in my office is my very fancy chair.

It’s an Embody Chair from Herman Miller.  Yes that means that many interns could be equipped with perfectly serviceable chairs for what a single Embody chair costs.  But now, after nearly six months of writing code while sitting in one I can confidently say that this chair has nearly ruined my ability to sit in any other chair.

To me it also shows that I’m not a kid anymore.  In earlier days, having the fastest CPU or the most Memory would have been much more important than a chair.  But now, the most important things are the chair, the display, the display arm, the keyboard, and the mouse.  Basically anything I touch or have to look at for long periods of time.
