Galen actually is working on building a moving office, where one can write novels and scientific articles (it is Berkeley) all while moving around, talking w/ your hands, etc. One of Galen's big emphases is laying down. When you're tired or grumpy, lay down - don't sit - for a few minutes. Another prof found that he cured his own insomnia only after switching to a standing desk. He also happens to study weight loss and unfortunately didn't find it helped with that. ;( I suffer personally from back pain and found that the standing desk was good only because it enabled me to move more, but it has it's own ergonomic ills. Definitely invest in a good tall chair if you're going to do it (like a drafter's chair) or better yet, perch (see Galen's book). there are several researchers at berkeley working on the idea of standing while working. check out Galen Cranz’s amazing book The Chair- on the evils of the chair and the futility of attempting to build a better one!
