    While this looks more like a Rolfing system than a chair, what you see before you is the Lauritzen Ergonomic Workstation (LEW), a chair that reduces pressure on your back, legs, and trunk and allows you to use your computer in almost any position. It looks like Mr. Lauritzen himself is selling these things all by himself for $995 plus shipping and, better yet, he appears to be building them himself and shipping them out of the Bay Area. Ah, California, your crazies are so productive!

    The LEW is responsible for any feelings of joy, relief, relaxation, elation, satisfaction, or comfort you may have when working in it, or for any strong desire to return to it when you are away.

    One more video after the jump.
