A network of lightweight interfaces has been stuck to my back for the past few weeks, receiving information about the slightest movement of my spine. My new Herman Miller Embody chair is like an exoskeleton, supplementing my body's own structural integrity. While I sit and blog about our future space exploration, it's awesome to have a high-tech command chair. Click through for chair spoilers. Okay, so not really spoilers. But here's all the dirt on ...

A new study suggests that listening to your favorite music is actually good for your heart. The research from the Maryland School of Medicine supports a previous study showing that laughter is good for vascular health. From the University of Maryland: Music, selected by study participants because it made them feel good and brought them a sense of joy, caused tissue in the inner lining of blood vessels to dilate (or expand) in order to ...

I knew it! Of course, a lot of my favorite music is lathered in tension, so I'm probably hurting myself constantly.

The International Herald Tribune has put up a fantastic write-up of what might possibly be the world's most popular chair: the Thonet Model 14. Six pieces of wood — two circles, two arches, two legs — that screwed together have seated more plump, writhing buttocks than any other chair in history. The No.14 was the result of years of technical experiments by its inventor, the 19th-century German-born cabinetmaker Michael Thonet. His ambition was characteristically bold. ...

aac 曰く、 EE Times Japanと米国EE Timesが共同で実施した「エレクトロニクス・エンジニア給与/意識調査」の結果がまとめられている（EE Times Japanの記事）。 まず気になる年収だが、日本のエンジニアの平均年収は758万円（昨年調査と比べ6万円増加）。一方、米国のエンジニアの平均年収は11万4,000ドル（昨年調査と比べ約5,000ドルの増加）。調査実施時（2008年9月）の為替レート（1米ドル＝107円）で換算すると、1220万円に相当するとのこと。米国のエンジニアの平均年齢は日本よりも2歳以上高いそうだが、米国のエンジニアの方が日本のエンジニアよりも高給取りの傾向が高いようだ。 この給与格差の原因として、「日本のエンジニアの給料は上がらず、逆に下がっている例もある」点が指摘されている。また、米国のエンジニアは80％が転職を経験しているのに対し、日本のエンジニアの転職経験率は44％とのこと。 米国のエンジニアが高い給料をもらっているのは、転職によるキャリアアップがその要因の1つとも考えられるが、もちろん転職にはリスクもある。安定した職場でそこそこの給料をもらうか、それともキャリアアップのために転職を繰り返すか、どちらを選択すべきかは難しいところだろう。 Permalink | 続きを読む | コメントを読む | コメントを書く
