It’s the most wonderful time of the year – National Ergonomics Month. We’re intent on spreading the word about Ergonomics, and are hosting a series of Twitter chats and are doing five promotions to boot!

Below are a few more details:

Twitter Chat

• Every Wednesday at 1PM CST, I will be moderating and hosting a Twitter chat (#ergochat), with a panel of experts to help the general public understand the importance of Ergonomics. There will be a different topic each week, and links and tools are all provided on the website.

Promotions

• Each week we will be giving away an Ergotron ergonomic mount of the winners choosing. There will be one grand prize drawing at the end of the month, giving away an Ergotron WorkFit-S, anti-fatigue mat, and WorkFit accessory. You only need to register once to be entered into all five of the drawings.

Please be sure to join us for the #ergochat and enter the drawings. We look forward to connecting with you throughout the month! Cheers to happy and healthy computing!

Have you been observing this wonderful season of back to school negotiation for students and parents in the department stores over the last few weeks?

Wandering through the gear department stores churn out designed to win the Good Housekeeping cool dorm seal of approval, they compare prices and haggle over wants vs. needs. I’ve personally seen a rise in requests for “must haves” in tricking out the dorm in my daily HARO and am not surprised to see sites like this one featuring Dorm Room Decorating in 2011.

It got me thinking. How will the student mount that new laptop or computer or the new TV that they got for graduation? Who is taking care of the hardware?

“Ouch. My neck. My back.” That’s how Kevin Paulson felt after sitting in front of a computer screen all day. So, he did something about it. And, along came WorkFit – what some people call, the antidote to sitting. Check out my vblog with him on the history of the product itself, and how it evolved into the WorkFit-S today.

I think about the difference it takes from wanting to change something, to actually doing something about it. It’s a good time to ask yourself, how are you going to be innovative today?
