Oh, man. I have been trying to learn a new keyboard layout called the Dvorak layout, and it has been really difficult. It has taken me like ten minutes to write the last two sentences, no joke. Anyway, here is what it looks like:

I even went as far as popping all of the keys off of my macbook and rearranging them to match. The advantages will supposedly eventually be decreased risk of carpal tunnel and increased typing speed, because, unlike QWERTY, the most commonly used letters of English are on the home row, which already allows you to type 70% of English words.

It has been difficult, but I can already feel it getting faster. We’ll see.
