I'm sorry to have two posts in a row. Ingvar Kamprad, IKEA founder died today.

Gotta love when a design company like this shows a hilarious Dilbert comic strip.
Wally Is A Maverick Wally: I like to think of myself as a maverick. Let the trendy people brag about their standing desks. I haven't stood in a week. Dilbert: I have some bad news about your health risks. Wally: Should I sit down to hear it?
