Happy giveaway winner announcement day! Recently I’ve been having some pretty painful issues related to a pinched nerve and compressed disc in my back so I’ve been looking at lots of different things related to building core strength and helping to keep the back muscles strong. Surprisingly I came across something that is even related to office supplies and your desk, assuming you use a standing desk. A few of the reviews mentioned that people noticed less pain from standing at their desk all day, and I’d have to assume that continual moving to keep balanced keeps plenty of your muscles working to maintain good balance and posture, but I’m not a doctor so there is a good chance that I’m 100% wrong. 🙂 I’m not here to provide medical advice, just to share cool office supplies, so take that into consideration while you check this thing out, it look pretty cool and is kind of intriuging, might be worth a shot. Check it out here on Huckberry.
Today we are giving away two previously reviewed items! One is the set of MyLifeUNIT Fine Line Drawing Pens (via Amazon) and the second is the set of cool Mini Trash and Recycle bins (also via Amazon) for storage on your desk.

A solid – and much cheaper – alternative is the Topo mat by Ergodriven. It’s available on Amazon, but I saw it first on Mark’s Daily Apple, the Primal Blueprint site.
I know for me, just having a small half-round foam roller on the floor in front of my standing desk gives my feet something to fidget with while I work. I can turn it onto it’s “back” (the round side) and stand on the flat side for balance and stronger stretching.
I’ve been wanting to build a taller desk as another option in my office. That board would be pretty cool to use with that.
@Ted – Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely take a look…looks like it operates a bit differently, but same concept.
@Davis – That sounds like a fun project! 🙂
