Deep Philosophizing
I am typing this to myself… kinda random thoughts… kinda like a page of nothingness to myself.
I want to learn to type fast, and accurately, so I decided to try writing a letter to Microsoft… cause I can’t find the disc to Garfield’s Typing Pal. I’d prefer to use that, but seeing as I can’t find the disc… this will have to do. I managed to find the case but not the disc. Garfield’s Typing Pal is a great program, it works you into the rhythm of typing quite well…The only thing that is hard to teach… is numbers and I’m still quite bad with them... if I knew my numbers, then I wouldn’t have to learn to type, because I am already fairly fluent in the “language” of typing. Watch this.
I can type really fast, really accurately, isn’t this cool? I’m doing it right now. It’s so much faster than writing with a pen, or pencil. I can type with my eye’s closed, like this or with them half-closed, like this, or half-open, like this, or even three-quarters open. I can also type with them one-quarter shut… like this. The only way I can’t type is with my eye’s totally open. It wrecks my concentration… and I write quite well with them totally shut. I can even read with my eyes closed… I’m just like that guy in the book who loves green eggs with his ham. I can’t remember his name.
I think that in the future… pens will go out of style, in western countries… and that typing will become a must. Unfortunately, people do not regard typing as an art… simply as a means to get one’s point across… and that results in most people using abbreviations…and they look really ugly.
A gem left open in Word which deserves a broader audience… Thanks, Jesse.
We have a new kitchen floor. The old linoleum went, the drain which had been semi-blocked for quite a while was unblocked. Then the click boards were laid… and it looks nice. Between laying pavers with the lads, and laying the floor, my knees have experienced a real work-out the last few weeks. :)
This Sunday night, we have a concert night for the students. We have three “rappers” coming from Kiev and hope to see at least 50-60 kids come out. It has been great to see Igor heading this up and being the push behind it.
Igor has also organized a group from our church to study in Kiev once a month with a group we’ve had a bit to do with over the last several years. It will be a day of intensive study on various topics and I’m sure will bless the 10 or so people who will be going. I’m delighted.
Noah of “falling-out-of-car” fame is out of hospital and doing very well. From the couple of hours I spent up there this last Sunday night, I discerned no noticeable difference in him. There are lots of thankful people here in Rzhyshchiv.
Time to go have a look to see if the muffler on the van has been welded up already. It’s a relief when you expect you’ll need to fork out several hundred dollars on your car and then go visit the mechanic, only to hear that he thinks he might be able to fix that for $32. :)
