I recently spent 2 days in Taipei for my late summer vacation — only 3 hours from Tokyo (16 hours from New York). I had a great time and took some memorabilia.

LUMOback
If you’re like us, then you spend most of your time in front of a laptop. When we learned about LUMO, I realized how much slouching is a problem for all of us. I love the integration with iPhone and iPad to keep track of your posture stats. They have raised $100k to realize the project, but there’s still time to get your LUMOback before 2013.
