DVORAK

Ok, so for those of you who don't know there is an alternate keyboard layout other than QWERTY. It's called DVORAK. It was invented by Dr. August Dvorak, an employee of Frank Gilbreth (Cheaper by the Dozen--THE BOOK) He discovered that the QWERTY layout was designed to slow typists down so typewriters wouldn't jam. After many years of studying the English language, Dvorak redesigned the keyboard to make it much faster and also to cause much less strain on the hands and wrists. He designed a 2 handed, and a right and a left handed keyboard. I have recently decided to make the switch to DVORAK and it is proving interesting. My chosen method of learning is Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor. It is a lot of fun and has a Viking as its mascot. I have attached a screen shot of the DVORAK layout.

He Loves It Because It's Trash

With the recent post about Oscar the Grouch, further investigation brought up the musical stylings of some guy on the acoustic guitar playing the Grouch's theme song. Tis quite comical.

Another one of our Ostrich Blog sing-a-longs

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash
Di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di, di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di, di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di.
Look at all this junk.

I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mother the day I was born
I love it because it's trash

Oh yes I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash
Di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di, di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di, di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di.
Look at the rest of this crap.

I have here some newspaper thirteen months old
I wrapped fish inside it, it's smelly and cold
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold
I love it because it's trash

Oh yes I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love some trash
Di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di, di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di, di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di.

Bring in a can for my clock that won't work and an old telephone
A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone
And I am delighted to call them my own
I love them because they're trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
I love, I love,I love it because it's trash
Di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di, di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di, di-da-di-da-di-di-di-di.

The Grouch on Apple 

Unlike other operating systems, Apple had a more positive view of trash on its earlier computers. Why not turn emptying trash, a generally dull task, into a performance by your favorite Sesame Street character?
