   On windows I use Autohotkey [1] to remap keys (capslock to backspace, qwerty to colemak, etc...), no registry hacks required. You just have to remember to run the script on startup. [1]: http://www.autohotkey.com/

   This is what happens with the Appharbor t-shirt I won in a contest a while back. People ask what the logo means and I explain, if it's a developer I get a bit more in-depth in how awesome it is.

    It also exists for severe weather situations. Got a tornado warning alert on my phone in June in my area advising to take shelter (had 5 tornadoes touch down in the area that night). I thought it was pretty cool, since I don't watch TV

    Thanks for the link, definitely something I'll be making use of. I just started the switch over to colemak ( http://colemak.com/ ) yesterday, and these kinds of tools will definitely be helpful in gaining the muscle memo

    Perhaps that's why they ask you to turn them off before the show and not just silence them
