For the record, the Dvorak keyboard, universalism, and linux are cool. Esperanto is still silly.

The Dvorak keyboard is an improvement over the usual QWERTY one. I’m just learning it, thus the short replies. Details: http://www.dvzine.org/

What are you talking about? am i supposed to just “know” what a Dvorak keyboard is? am I terminally unhip? is not already knowing this stuff evil? or is it just because I’m not a computer geek?

This will be short since I’m 100% Dvorak at home now. The key is learning to touch-type, so any keyboard will work.

I’m also interested.

I thought of switching some time ago, but everywhere but home would be using a regular keyboard and I figured I’d never actually get used to one or the other.

As a member of the carpaltariat myself, I am interested too.

One of colleagues has gone to speech-to-text very successfully this year. He’s using iListen on the Mac but we hear that there are even better solutiois on the PC.

Me too. As one who makes his living on a computer, and is pretty much always in front of a keyboard, I’m interested in anything that might save me wrist trouble.

Keep us updated on this, Scott. I had a programmer friend once who swore by the Dvorak keyboard. I’d love to hear about it from someone in the process of learning to use it.
