I’m sending my name on the Europa Clipper destined for blast off to Jupiter and its water-laden moon Europa looking for life. You can sign up for free too. Yay for robots!

You're invited to to Jupiter's moon Europa by signing a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón that will travel aboard NASA's spacecraft.

Shopping for a good, cheap office chair? You can find inexpensive (under $200) but they are for occasional light use. A high quality office chair is typically about $1000. But no matter how many adjustment k***s and levers it has, knowing how to adjust it to fit your body is super important. The most common mistake I see is the lumbar (back) support being adjusted too low. Key point: the lumbar support bulge should press against “your belt line, not your behind”.

By now the work at home crews may have worn their office chairs out. A quick test for buying a new one is to push down hard with your fist on the seat cushion. If you feel a hard board, the foam padding is inferior. It may look pretty but it’s a cheap chair.

TO ARM OR NOT TO ARM: Today we talk about office chair arms. Unlike humans, arms on chairs are optional. If you are in a crowded area, or the arms are all beat up on your chair, you can remove them. IF you want arms on your ergonomic chair, choose ones with a (1)smooth, (2)padded, (3)cleanable surface and (4)rounded edges. (No wood or upholstered arms). The arms need to be height and width (distance from seat pan) adjustable. Adjust the height of the arms so that your elbows are slightly supported. Arms that are too high will give you shoulder/neck aches. Ones that are two low are worse-than-useless.

All About Footrests: Main Point: You shouldn't use one because you shouldn't NEED to use one. Lower the desk (or keyboard/mouse) so that you can plant your feet flat on the floor. No putting your feet on the legs of the chair, either. I knew a worker who got numb toes from constantly putting her feet on the star leg of the chair. I got dog toy squeakers and taped them to each leg of the chair to break her of the habit and lowered the keyboard/mouse so she didn't need to any more. After about 50 "squeaks" she learned better. :-)

Today we talk about computer screens: IF you are lucky enough to score a window in your office, you need to consider where to put your computer screen. Don't put it in front of the window. Do you watch TV in front of the sliding glass door? No, the door brightness ruins the view of the screen. Same thing with computer screens and windows.
Put the screen perpendicular to the window. Don't put it on the wall opposite the window, that's a recipe for glare.
And remember the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to give your eyes a break from close focusing on the screen.

Eeks! A Mouse! Douglas Engelbart invented the mouse, so named he said because of the tail that ran from it, patented way back in 1970. He was trying to improve human efficiency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Engelbart
