REVIEW – I’ve been sitting in front of a computer for my daily work for decades. I’ve tried a variety of standing desks, and treadmill desks, but one thing I’ve never tried is a footrest.

REVIEW – Security, both physical and cyber, is always top of mind for me when traveling. This is primarily because I am a paranoid New Yorker but also due to the fact that I work for a software company that is laser focused on cybersecurity. At this point in time, it’s no longer a question
