Blogging in a Comfortable OfficeMarch 25 2008

If you’re a blogger, you’ll understand the importance of a comfortable chair. After sitting down for hours, your back will be sore and you’re not going to want to blog for very much longer, so what do you do. The people over at Inter Country Office Furniture have solved the problem providing a large range of comfortable office chairs and office furniture.

Their four main office chairs at the moment are called Tabitha, Quasar II, Tirol and Stealth Mesh. All of these chairs go through rigorous testing to make sure they’re up to the high standards needed. The prices are fairly reasonable with the Tabitha going for 50 Euro, the Quasar II for 100 Euor, the Tirol for 120 Euro and the Stealth for around 200 Euro.

While these prices may seem rather steep, you really can’t pay too much for your health. Inter Country Office Furniture also sells office storage to hold all of your books and other things laying around your office.

My personal of the four that I have mentioned is the Stealth Mesh. This chair allows for proper ventilation when you’ve been seated for long periods of time. While it is rather expensive, it’s very comfortable and my back felt great even after many hours of sitting.

Free Wiki WebsitesJanuary 20 2008

For the past few years wiki’s have been gaining popularity. The best known wiki is of course Wikipedia, but Wiki’s have become so popular that you’ll now see them on a number of different websites including educational sites, well known media sites and even corporate websites.

For those who don’t know what a Wiki is here’s a brief description :

A wiki is software that allows users to create, edit, and link web pages easily. Wikis are often used to create collaborativewebsites and to power community websites.

One of the best websites for starting your very own wiki is Wetpaint.com. Wetpaint is a free online wiki service that lets anyone create a wiki in three easy steps. The service features many of the same features that are found on message boards, social networks, and blogs. They even offer a full users guide to help you along the process. The great thing about the service is the fact that it is totally free and very easy to use.

Before looking at Wetpaint.com I hadn’t had much experience with wiki’s. I knew what they were and the general layout / design of them but I didn’t really know how they worked. After messing around the website (and it’s very well laid out), I had a plethora of knowledge and was able to go out and build my very own wiki in a matter o

Hardware ReviewsJanuary 11 2008

As you may or may not have noticed I have been very absent from this blog. Lately I’ve been writing for a great new blog called Digit Geek. This blog as you could probably get from the name reviews different pieces of hardware such as Desktops, Laptops, MP3 Players, and many more different categories. I’ve written a number of different reviews and they’re all genuine.

Here’s a look of the site

The site gets it unique look from its owner John of JohnTP.com. There are 3 other writers along with me and I think the reviews are of top notch.
