Stuff directly or indirectly for or about the iPad, in no real order. These posts will likely be discontinued once an iPad is in hand.

In every Links post, I try to pimp at least two eBooks (generally free ones). These will be consolidated into one post later on when traffic gets real here and people are looking for things to stuff into their iPad. However, there are no free eBooks this time. Despite so-called writers whining everywhere that their shit never gets mentioned anywhere or mentioned by anyone else except their mother.

What Is The Ultimate iPad Chair?

One of the things I’ve been thinking about is the posture I’d like to have while using an iPad.

The iPad is the first computer that cries out for comfortable lounging.

Last night, before sleep, with an aching back, I was thinking about how I’d like a chair that soothes my back and would also be great for using an iPad.

I know there are people out there who are geeks for chairs and furniture, and maybe you can drop recommendations in Comments. (At one point, I expect someone to create an actual entire blog devoted to this topic — probably pictures of people lounging with their iPads. The person creating such a blog will not be me, however!)

Today I came across what I think would be the ultimate chair for me. But, man, is it expensive!

See it after the break.
