Astronaut computing at work and at home
(but not yet in space)
With my back problems over the decades I’ve needed to adapt my environment where I could to make things manageable and with less stress on my back. These three videos show my use of a zero gravity chair to allow me use of my computer without back pain. Of course the same chair allows pain free reading, watching tv, etc.
Here is a video of my current arrangement at home
This is the set up I had on Treasure Drive until 2013. I liked the Slide-O-Rama keyboard setup a lot but did not have the room here in Carpinteria to reuse it. Hence 3.0 above.
My first setup at work. I was able to work for my final two years with this arrangement without which I could not have been working as I was well within one of my extended high pain back episodes. I am very grateful I was allowed this.
