Dvorak really is a thing of beauty

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

So, it’s been a month since I switched to Dvorak, and I’m approaching my old qwerty speed just from the practice I get from my everyday typing. My qwerty skills have utterly tanked, but I don’t care. Practically everything about Dvorak makes a million times more sense than qwerty ever did! Vowels and commonly-used consonants are sensibly placed, and my bad wrist is thanking me for it.

I’ve also started using a trackball, which I’m enjoying a lot more than the last time I tried it. My desktop is getting crazy-ergonomic now. I love it.
