I learned how to type without looking at the keyboard. It really is a good skill to have.

I can do it pretty fast (typing without looking at the keys) and I make less mistakes than I used to.

Typing without needing to look at the keyboard is great. If you're good enough at it, you don't even need to see the screen to type!



Oh hey, Google's back to normal. No more weird https homepage!

I typed this post without looking at the keyboard... so there's that. (I was expecting to make a lot of typos , but I guess not)

I think I was better at typing without looking on my older laptop, though- the MacBook Air's separated keys are kind of hard to get used to. (at least for me)

I pretty much never look at the keyboard. Then again, I've been touch-typing for many years. My WPM is about 80ish.

By the time I had proper typing classes in school, I had already gotten used to my own (incorrect) method of typing and was set in my ways. Though, just now I took a typing test out of curiosity and got 94 WPM... so it doesn't seem to hurt me that much.

I got really good at quickly typing with 2 fingers before my first actual typing class in high school.

In Maine right now on a mini-road trip! I'll be back tonight with pictures hopefully!

Also if any of you in New Hampshire or Maine are around, you should try to say hi to me or something!

The home row exists to slow people down. I actually rest my fingers on awef (space bar)nkl/. And it shifts from time to time.

Wow. I actually checked how many hour-long lessons there are in a Teach Yourself C# in 24 Hours book.

I'm tired, but I don't want to sleep yet.

Why won't Gamefly send me Deus Ex?

So, I have an appointment soon which I'll need to drive to. My dad left with his friend, so I have the choice between the car and the motorbike.

The cold outside kinda makes me want to take the car, on the other hand, it's quite a bit harder to find a parking spot for it. It's a tough decision, really.
