  Doesn't one learn faster by typing words instead of random letters?

    I think this approach helps to avoid simply building up muscle memory for certain words.

      The touchtyping keyboard layouts are based on n-grams in real words

  Excellent - I'm planning to use this with Z-Type (http://www.phoboslab.org/ztype/ http://www.phoboslab.org/ztype/) to learn Colemak. Thanks!

    Wow - that's a lot of fun!

  Spacebar doesn't work in chrome/win7... unless I'm in incognito mode. I'm not sure why.

  Finally, a reason to force myself to touch-type numbers.
