“Lets have a typing speed contest,” he mocks as he hops up from the couch. He’d just waited out my painfully long hunt-and-peck session to type out the title of this post.

[I start a timer.]

Why is he mocking me? Because I am about fifty words into using the Dvorak keyboard layout. It is designed for more efficient and healthy computer typing. (Apparently, the traditional design was for typewriters.) I figured that, as much as I use my hands, I need to take good care of them.

The “A” and numbers are the only symbol keys that haven’t moved; and I am having a really hard time remembering where the “K” is.

[Entering the Dvorak link in the post up there.]

124 words so far plus the link in 11 mins, 54 secs = 10+ words per minute.

I used to type 62 wpm… 72 on a good day.
