Number 1 tip to stay fit and prevent RSI is to keep moving. You gotta just do more than just making a walk to the coffee machine. You have to use your muscles and start sweating a bit. Play ping-pong, fussball or.., make up your own game. That’s exactly what we did at the Meganova office.
When I was at Le Web 3 in Paris, I found a pink stress relief ball in my goodie bag. At first, I just used it for what it’s meant for: that means squeezing the ball to relief stress. Yet after a while, the guy whose sitting in front of me – Sander van der Vliet – started throwing the ball trough the office. That’s when the poor little pink ball received its first kick. It soon evolved into a real game: Bottle Soccer. It looks something like this:

Yesterday I wrote a review about Checkser, a sort of Wikipedia-style checklist database. Guess what kind of checklist I made when I was testing the service?
Just watch out for those grumpy janitors who can’t take it when they have to wash black stripes from the floor every morning.
okay, as a semi-pro bottle soccer player i can only concur. this is it! its very cool and keeps you fit and younf of mind and heart..
