Wi-Fi gets all the attention, but a cabled network is the backbone of every productive small office.

I spent 10 years coding 12-hour days before my back finally staged a revolt. The sharp pain shooting down my leg during a sprint review was my wake-up call. Finding the best ergonomic office chairs for programmers who code ten hours a day is not about luxury. It is about protecting your spine and preserving … Read more

I remember the first time I tried drawing on my Wacom Cintiq without a glove. Within 20 minutes, my palm had left a smudged mess across the screen, my hand was sticking to the glass, and I had accidentally triggered three palm rejection errors. That was four years ago, and I have not drawn gloveless … Read more
