Another badass workspace...

http://www.robotics.com/chair/

Ultra-fancy BMW bucket seat, modded into the ultimate yuppie workstation. I think I'd want mine in black...

You think bathroom, I think... "What if there's a fire?"

In at least one case, maybe the designer feels the same way...

"Considering adding accessories to enhance my digital experience such as a tube to supply a continuous stream of Mountain Dew and maybe a urnal. Next I'll be working on submerging my entire body in a vat of hot salsa along with an automatic chip dispenser. "

I include the whole line because, well.. "vat of hot salsa"

Gee now I feel like a complete MORON for buying one of those dumb Aerons:

Holy fuck. Can I have your chair, Jimmy? I broke mine last night...

Just went crunch under me. I can show you the damage, but nobody gets to see the frickin' "my little office set" chair I am stuck with now. Good gawd!

OUCH.

Scared the bejeezus out of me.

Looks sweet to me. Has to be better than what I'm using.

Though the white plasic matches my Mac setup better than the old wooden chair.

What a piece of shit!

obviously the guy has taste - he did choose BMW.

But either his tastes aren't so refined - as to have known that one of those "extra" wires was probably the heated seat feature OR - he simply went after too early of a model. either way - heated seats seats are a MUST - and would kick ass in an office chair!

My only other gripe with the guy - is that he acts like 3+ hours is anything to brag about. (despite the barebones design of the page - which hinted at a site created in 96 - the LCD is a give away that this is a recent creation. 3 hours is childs play! =)

Real men - and people that post on gfy - easily clock 10-12 hours of "Net" time in a day.

10-12? Shit. I might have a problem... 16 hours today for me.

those drawer slides are vertical drawer slides.
He's using them wrong and with a 40lb. monitor on top, plus the wood weight, he'll fuck those bearings up in a few months, with heavy use.
