new pro/con: Some minor creaking noise on recline at times. Nothing major.
new pro/con: Frictionless spinning
new pro/con: Excellent balance. You can set the tension knob such that your own weight reclines perfectly without bottoming out at full lean.
new pro/con: Heavy metal base gives it a sturdy feel compared to cheapo Office Depot chairs

Erik New Update Comment comment_status_update: So I've been rocking this chair for almost 4 days now, and I love it even more. I pulled a very long day yesterday and I swear I was able to work for 1 or 2 more hours comfortably because of this chair alone. I've been comparing it to the Embody since we have one of those in our office on loan, and the Mirra is just that much more ergonomic.The Embody is a nice chair that feels amazing when you first sit on it, but it simply does not provide the support that the Mirra does. I would outfit everyone in an office with a Mirra chair because it does exactly what it needs to do and not much more.It's got a great balance. I've adjust the tension knob perfectly such that if i simply lean back, my own weight takes me to any angle without "bottoming out" if I decide to fly back all the way.

Erik New Status Update new_status_update: #herman_miller_mirra I just picked up this chair at a local store after comparing it with the Aeron and Embody. I was surprised how much more I liked the Mirra over the Aeron. Going in, I was fully expecting to buy an Aeron, so I was pleasantly surprised by this chair's performance. I always have lower back issues and require a lot of lumbar support so this chair suited me perfectly.It is fully adjustable so that you can make it such that it's ideal for your size, weight, shape and personal preference. I have only been using it this morning, but already my ingratiating back pain has been replaced by back bliss. If you are unsure about splurging on a good chair like I was, I can assure you that it's well worth the money if you spend 7-8 hrs per day sitting (and coding).FYI, I was considering the Herman Miller Aeron, Humanscale Liberty, and Steelcase Leap as my primary options, and I ended up getting the Mirra after some trial. I don't recommend you buy a chair without trying it out in a store. You might be surprised what choice you come home with.

Erik New Status Update new_status_update: #ubuntu_tv I have to say, this announcement took me by surprise. I have to say an Ubuntu-powered consumer television was not something I was expecting to be announced. I think this helps solidify that 2012 is going to be big year for the smartification / socialization / appification of the your TV similar to what happened to the lowly cell phone when the iPhone was announced.This is interesting but I think it's dead in the water. I don't think the name "Ubuntu" has any weight with the consumer. Google and Apple do. What about the app market? Will any developers develop for Ubuntu TV? Not unless it gets serious traction.Let the turf wars begin.

new pro/con: Expensive with an MSRP of $300. Hopefully, the actual retail price will come down.
agreed: "Basic navigation back to starting point allows you to try new trails without fear of getting lost."
new pro/con: Easy-to-read large numbers in a very nice font
new pro/con: Compatible with ANT+ heart rate monitor
new pro/con: High resolution graphical display
new pro/con: Large display
agreed: "Multisport profiles are awesome for training as a triathlete."

Erik New Status Update new_status_update: #magellan_switch_up Vibrating alerts are a smart idea for sure. To me, what stands out about this watch is the beautiful, easy-to-read display. It is WAY better than my #garmin_forerunner_405 . The best thing about the Garmin watches is actually the Garmin GPS website with it's awesome integration in to Google Maps. If Magellan gets this right, then this is a seriously awesome product.
