This chair is awesome. It's so comfortable. Because the chair supports are actually bands of material, you almost feel like you're sitting in a hammock. (I have to be careful not to fall asleep at work! ;o)

JBL Creature 2.1 Computer Speakers (3-Speaker, Silver)

Description

Easily the best sounding computer speakers I've ever owned (especially for the price). They look really cool too.

Apple MacBook Pro

144 people recommended this item

Description

I bought a 17" MacBook back when Apple first introduced them (back then they were called "PowerBooks", of course). Five years later, it's amazing to see how far the MacBook has come.

It looks and feels almost exactly like the original, until you begin to notice the subtle details. The magnetic power cord that "pops" off if someone accidentally trips on it. The screen is sharper and has a significant boost in resolution. The processor is a screaming-fast dual-core intel. All wrapped up in its familiar aluminum shell, with a backlit keyboard. Ah, sweet bliss...

Grado SR60 headphones

First to recommend

Description

These are easily the best sounding, and most durable pair of headphones I've ever had.

UPDATE: They're not as durable as I had thought. After three months of heavy use, I'm not getting dual-channel sound any more. The problem appears to be a pinched wire somewhere near the binding point between the individual channel wires (i.e. where the left and right are joined together into one wire).

I wear these on my head every day at work. It's fantastic being able to move around my desk freely, or turn around without getting tangled up in a cord.

Feeling alone at work? bored perhaps? Let this little guy keep you entertained (and remind you of the Tomogouchi incident). He will lip sync along with music so you can perform a lovely duet at your desk and no one else has to know...

Designing with Web Standards (2nd Edition)

First to recommend

Description

This book was a turning point in the way I create web sites. I had always been bored by topics like "accessibility" and "web standards." But this book was a fun read.
