Who says you can't be an uber ultra computer geek and not physically fit?
found while searching for something completely different - originally here.

Hey, I've been doing that (or was) for almost 2 years!
I bought a board from the wood shop down the street, and put some stickyback fake laminate on it. I lay that board across the arms of the treadmill and put my laptop on it, then use wifi while I run. I talked to my dad on webcam while I was running, and he laughed so hard.
Gotta have the right treadmill style to pull it off though. |

gotta like that, but it's not quite the same without the 42" plasma tv.
I like Thundarr's idea about the generator. |

They hooked a homemade washing machine up to an exercise bike on Gilligan's Island.
We don't have 42" TVs at the school gym, but we do have PC-sized ones hanging right in front of your face on the treadmill. 
Gotta be careful with the remote, though, because you change everyone else's channel too! |
