Relax the Back sells a variety of chairs and office accessories for your ergonomic comfort. I find myself curiously intrigued by their Rocking Foot Machine. It’s like grandma’s rocking chair, but for your feet. They say “just a modest increase in leg activity has been shown to help counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting at your desk.”
Here’s a career mashup if I ever heard one: journalist-programmers.

I have spent the last hour, on the site, and though still in beta, it runs very well, fast, and the delivery of each message to my friends has been spot on, with almost no lag time. I even sent messages to my own phone, and it arrived almost as fast as it took me to refresh the online inbox, now that I haven’t seen on other free sms websites.
Keep up the good work Peekamo.
Okay, back to texting, I gotta get my friends on so I can start group messaging.
