I am going DAS

So,

in an effort to learn to stop looking at the keyboard when I type, I've applied black duct tape to the keys of my work keyboard in the spirit of DAS keyboard... It's already hurting but I'm sure in about 2 weeks time I'll be typing faster and smoother than I am now... I think... [clunk... poke... clunk]...

Chortle in my pants

Recently Gizmodo ran a photo contest where entrants were asked to rip-off a famous photo. This was one of the entries, it makes me chortle in my pants.

A lot.

Photo credit to Steve McCurry of course for the original Afghan girl, and to Becca Alves for the fantastic imitation.
