My hands have been bothering me lately from too much typing so I am switching to the Dvorak keyboard. After about five hours I am at about 7 words per minute. Man is it slow!
But I will say that the Dvorak keyboard is much better, I don't have my fingers nearly as much to type.
Make sure that under "Language Bar" that check "Show the language bar on the desktop" and "Show additional language bar icons in the taskbar". This will allow you to change the keyboard back and forth with the language bar to the far left of your keyboard. But don't TRY to stay on the Dvorak keyboard, the conversion will be faster if you go cold turnkey. :)
5, yes 5 undersea cables have been cut in the Mideast in the past week.
They have all been attributed to simple things like dragging ship anchors, which is certainly not impossible. Here's what makes my spidey senses tingle: 1) FIVE! FIVE? One will happen, TWO will make you think you need to stop kicking the neighbors dog, THREE makes you start looking over your shoulder, FOUR makes you think that they have targeted you, but FIVE!? Five cable cuts in a week? Come on, that is WAY beyong statistically likely. 2)So what does the US media say? NOTHING, not a word. Its possible that internet connectivity to the Middle East is being systematically shutdown, and NO WORD in the news. If nothing else, its a HUGE coincidence, but not a word. 3) The Egypt cable cut was blammed on a dragging anchor, however the Egyptian goverment released a statement saying that the cut was in a high security area, and their camera's showed no ships in that area for the 12 hours before or after the cut.
The Japanese are creating new technologies in the war with food:
If I had these when I was a kid, the results would have been tragic! Can you imagine!?!?!

Goggles from Germany!
Man, you GOTTA love those Germans! Check out these gorgeous goggles from Germany. Whatever you got going on, carpentry, logging, driving around in your convertible, skiing, these bad boyz are for you.
Sadly, I don't where one can purchase them as this company is no longer selling them. :(
Ok Here's one for all of you sensitive, thinking artist types. Hanson, I am looking straight at you.
SO I have been reading a LOT of varied things lately for work, lots of weird research, and I had all these things on my screen at once. I had to take 5 minutes to revel in it, and figured that I should share it. :)
Shout out to Jimmy Kent for the SteamPunk references.
First, open this video, let it play in the background. Let it play for 10 seconds or so, just enjoy it, listen, relax.... Big hawaiian guy singing somehwere over the rainbow/wonderful world... Nice.
OK, now reach over and pour yourself a cup of coffee from this cold drip coffee maker. You started brewing it 9 hours ago, so the ice has melted and your cold coffee is ready to drink, nice and strong.
Hey, if you had Eluma you too could find all these weird, oddly connected things. :) Soon, very soon I will be posting the download link.

60 Frames
OH My XENU! There's a new video site called "60Frames" and I gotta say, its pretty cool. Yeah, I know what your thinking "PaulC, we are SO busy getting rid of Thetans that we barely have time to keep up with YouTube, do we REALLY need another video site?" And the answer is "Yes, yes you do."
60Frames is not a viral, submit your videos, and lets see what we get sort of thing. They are only showing professional quality productions. I just watched the first episode of "GILF" staring Wendi McLendon-Covey of "Reno 911" (2) fame. It is SUPER funny! Certain to get rid of those pesky thetans so that you can advance to the next level and hang with Tom Cruise.
They have some other interesting shows that you should check out, super cool!

Pistol camera makes shoots easier.
Its really too bad that the NRA have ruined guns for the rest of us. For example, I would LOVE one of these babies!
Well, not exactly that, I would prefer it be digital, and autofocus, while not critical, would be nice. You could just use a nice deep depth of view and hope for the best. :) I also wouldnt mind a rifle version for nature shots. Yes, it sounds bass ackwards, but think about it. I rifle stock with a camea on it would make the camera easy to port (sling it over your shoulder) and would be easier to steady in the field for that long range shot. Something like this:
Note that the camera is a leica with the scope looking through the viewfinder. Wery nice. Hmm, I could probably fab up something like this for the 20d.....
Of course, using this pistol camera is likely to get you shot (thanks NRA!) so I will have to pass.

New Samantha alarm clock
What a GREAT idea for an alarm clock! Every time you hit the snooze button, this alarm clock automatically and instantly donates money to a charity that you hate!!! ZMG! Unfortunately I can't find the list of charities that they have pre-setup, but they currently support over 1,600! This would be GREAT for Samantha! But I just don't know what charity she would give to? She's pretty liberal, and green, so maybe the Young Republicans?
