On one-handed typing:

[velvetpage]

My tendency towards verbosity has been severely curtailed by my recent enforced reduction in typographical velocity.



I composed that line in the shower about ten minutes ago. Yes, it's twenty to two in the afternoon. That should give you an idea what my morning has been like. Here's another hint: I'm really not sure where to put the dividing line between this morning and last night.

Still, a shower does wonders for one's outlook, and I feel much more human in my ratty t-shirt and wet hair than I did in the housecoat that smells of spit-up.

I'm back to one-handed typing, so I'll go read my friends list now.

When I get going, I can type well over a hundred words per minute with few errors - and even fewer errors when I'm typing from a script than when I'm typing from my head. Sometime in September of each school year, I take my kids into the computer lab and arrange to "help" them type stories into the computer. I can do in two minutes what takes them a laborious half hour to accomplish, and I correct their grammar and spelling and teach them about the corrections as I go. It's worth it for the awe factor.

And you're right - I've never met a pianist who wasn't also a good typist, though I know quite a few good typists who can't find middle C.
