Interesting note about the proofreading. I find my reading speed drops precipitously with a book or printed material whilst walking, especially if it is a technically dense, but a website is no problem. Thinking now, does walking aid or hinder comprehension and retention of information. I shall have to look for and conduct studies. With the proofreading, is it the reading that bothers you? Or the marking up of the proofread text? Also, you have one of the rare treadmills with horizontal arms that you can mount boards on. The two treadmills here at the office have sloping arms, so I had to construct desks to accommodate that. How is the stability? Not many treadmills are designed to take 50lbs or 60lbs of monitors and equipment over an extended period of time.

How innovative! I am especially happy about the reusing + DIY factors. I am all about reusing these days. My desk right now is a table, which I wish had drawers. You have inspired me. I will brainstorm and get some DIY and reusing going! That is amazing! How innovative!
