Ditto, I was able to get a Leap from an office surplus store for my home office and I enjoy its adjustability better than the Aeron I had at my last job. The breathability of the Aeron is nice, but I don't have issues with standard clo

Django's recommended project structure is one that immediately comes to mind. A project is broken down into "applications" each which have their own models, views, and controllers (among other things like forms, tests, etc.).
