Step 18Create an Ergonomic Standing Desk and Office on the Go
Christy and Eric have been traveling in Guatemala for a couple of weeks. They brought their laptops and have been logging into Instructables everyday. They call it "working from home from abroad."
Eric is really careful with his wrists and computer use in general. See:
Ergonomic Work Station
Stand Up Desk, and
Standing Desk
He brought his Goldtouch split keyboard and left and right handed vertical mice, as mentioned in the above Instructables and forum topic. Here, he's found a set of shelves that are approximately the right height and put the keyboard and mice below the laptop, which is about at head level. It's a little too tall, and the shelves aren't adjustable, but it's a world of difference over the RSI and back and neck pain associated with working on a laptop while actually on your lap or on a table.
With a good internet connection and VOIP with a local Bay-Area call-in number, few people even know they're out of the US!
