Via MetaFilter, Slate: Make Mine Dvorak: "One writer's love affair with the other keyboard layout"

"Six weeks ago, worrying about my aching wrists and furious at my own keyboard, I decided to give the dead man's dream a try. I tweaked a preference in Microsoft Windows and used a black felt pen to convert my Qwerty keys into Dvorak keys. A week later, I permanently Dvorakized my keyboard, erasing the markings, popping all the keys off, and sticking them back on August's preferred way."

By the way, check out Slate's URLs: "http://slate.msn.com/?id=2061547" - Finally, a URL that makes sense for permanent links. That link won't have to break when they change content management systems, and they don't have to do any funky URL rewriting. Why don't more news sites get this?
