Steelcase Store

The award-winning Leap chair by Steelcase. The best ergonomic chair in the world. Lots of adjustment to fine tune your sit and make it as comfortable as possible.

Leap

Great Chair! An investment in comfort!!

Pros: Easy to Use/Intuitive, Good Value, Supportive, High Quality, Sturdy, Comfortable, Attractive Design, Highly Adjustable

Best Uses: Home Office Chair

This chair is ultra customizable, comfortable and you can sit for hours on end and not feel any fatigue. I had been using a rigid tilt chair for years and it was starting to do damage. After weeks of research, and trying a few different chairs, I decided on the LEAP. It has great reviews and it’s obvious why. While it costs more than I originally budgeted, its an investment that will pay dividends on my back for many years to come. Don’t wait, just do it. If you have the ability to drop a few more $$$ than planned its well worth it.

In my daily review of DIGG, I came across this interesting presentation from one of the show hosts, Adam Savage.  It shows you interesting side of his personality that you may not find by watching him on his show.  Weighing in at 17 minutes, its a bit long but very compelling to watch.

A worker died after being trampled and a woman miscarried when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island Wal-Mart Friday morning, witnesses said.

The unidentified worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 a.m.

Witnesses said the surging throngs of shoppers knocked the man down. He fell and was stepped on. As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over and around him.

“He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. “They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too…I literally had to fight people off my back.”

Nassau County Police are still investigating and would not confirm the witness accounts. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. Police did say there were several injuries but weren’t more specific.

Jessica Keyes was among the shoppers. She told the Daily News she saw a woman knocked down just a few feet from the dying worker.

“When the paramedics came, she said ‘I’m pregnant,’” Keyes said.

Paramedics treated the woman inside the store and then, according to Keys, told the woman:

“There’s nothing we can do. The baby is gone.”

Before police shut down the store, eager shoppers streamed past emergency crews as they worked furiously to save the store clerk’s life.

“They were working on him, but you could see he was dead, said Halcyon Alexander, 29. “People were still coming through.”

Only a few stopped.

“They’re savages,” said shopper Kimberly Cribbs, 27. “It’s sad. It’s terrible.”

So, I have been downloading my various lists via Excel, printing them and then taking them along.  I don’t like paper and wanted to get my database on my IPod Touch somehow.

I happened to be scrolling through the Apple Apps store and came across this cool little $1.99 application called “CSV Touch”.  CSV, hmmmm.  I know I can export data to CSV, maybe this app can pull it in and cache it?   YES IT CAN.

So, I purchased the app, went to http://www.cellartracker.com/ow.asp?ExcelDownload to find out how to export to CSV, then realized I can create them on the fly with the following:  http://www.cellartracker.com/xlquery.asp?table=List&User=<your_login>&Password=<your_password>!!!  Be sure to add on &Format=csv for the proper CSV Export.

So I pointed this app to these custom URLs and BAM, it cached my entire wishlist, tasting notes and other lists.  You can select the columns to display so it doesnt get too clogged, when you click on an item, you can see all the data.

Obviously, if you have an IPhone (with v. 2.0 firmware), it will work even better as you can update on the fly without need for a wi-fi hotspot.

Anyway, if you have 2 bucks to burn, download it from the Apple App Store (Search for CSV Touch) and give it a go.

I hope this helps some of you out there who cannot get access to cellartracker while shopping, it will certainly help me!!!

Since it is a CSV database, you can use it for anything!
