Last month, after reading Gina Trapani’s post on lifehacker, I switched to standing desk.

So, how is the experience going? Well, after first three days, there is not much difference in using computer while sitting or standing, at least not for first 4 – 6, but you can use clogs or shoes with soft sole to solve that problem. Other than that, I feel more active now, with reduced chance of getting the back pain, which considering how I used to be slouched in my chair for 8-14 hours a day, is a miracle I hadn’t already got it.

As for my setup, I have a laptop, so I had to get a separate keyboard and a mouse to make it work.

2. It is a lot more difficult to get a sweater off of a seven months old kid than it looks.

No, I am not talking about United States nor Us magazine, just talking about us. We have a kind of a group here, consisting of few friends (technically, we are a set of brothers, friends, friends of brothers and brothers of friends). I am calling it kind of a group because we have never formally considered ourselves a group, our interests are different, we usually don’t agree on pretty much everything, including what to work on and how, and usually all (actual) work is done individually or by a group of at-most 2 people (others are always present to point out mistakes and sometimes to give moral support), but whatever work any of us do, it is pretty much always considered ‘our’ work.

Currently we have 7 running websites (including 4 blogs and a photoblog), with 2-3 ideas  currently in development, some of these projects were started on experimental basis and are on a back burner right now, while others are actively worked on. Here is the list of our projects (in no particular order):

1. Kirayadaar.com
2. Eat ‘n Travel
3. Politics Pakistan
4. Optographer
5. Carobaar
6. Education Inn
7. Majestic Islam

Let me know what you think about any of these websites. Any suggestions and feedback is most welcome.
