Twits, Twitters and Typos

I recently switched over from the standard QWERTY keyboard layout to Dvorak... partly because it just makes sense, partly because it's suppose to be less likely to cause carpal tunnel syndrome, and mostly because I'm a masochist (That sentence took about 2 minutes to type).

I mostly have it down, but I keep mixing up the C and R keys. That led to some ROTFLMAO hilarity while writing a press release for Headphone Treats earlier. I mistyped the label's "We've Got Your Ear Candy!" slogan as "We've Got Your Ear, Randy!". Particularly funny since the release is about a dude named Randy. If you ever see me sporting a straight razor and gasoline can while dancing to "Stuck In The Middle With You"... run.

I was just in Caribou Coffee trying to get some work done, but instead was distracted by a rather passionately bitter conversation between two dumpy, 30-something yuppies about divorce. Specifically, how to "lawyer" your way into the best financial situation under the circumstances and how to acquire custody of children, pets, houses, etc. Some tips included claiming the opposing spouse to be a consummate drug user and child neglector. They were not joking even a little bit. Lovely stuff. I mean, I know we've all (men and women) had our share of abuse by the opposite sex, but jumping Jesus on a pogo stick. It can't be all that bad guys!

Years ago when a friend explained blogging communities to me, I thought it was the dumbest idea I'd ever heard. Then I promptly started blogging. Yesterday, when a friend sent me an invite to Twitter.com, I thought it was a dumb idea. Then I promptly started using it. So, I guess I'm saying... you should come be dumb with me. (Basically, you blog short little quips about what you are doing from your phone, im or their web interface and it's distributed to your friends. It actually has some practical applications too.)
