Z-Type is a game that helps you practice typing. Fantastic to play when you’re switching to Dvorak. Hat tip: Lloyd.

On the Dvorak Keyboard Layout
It's a relatively well-known fact that I am a Dvorak typist, and have been for about four or five years now. Just an introduction for the uninitiated, the Dvorak keyboard layout is just a different arrangements of letters purposively chosen because it is more efficient for typing the English language.…
Dvorak Typists
I just found out Nathan Myhrvold, the evil genius buying all the patents, is a Dvorak typist. I started typing Dvorak about 8 years ago, and fellow Automattician Michael Adams is also a Dvorak devotee. So if you want to be CTO of Microsoft, or do an Open Source web…
Jay-Z
As I noted on Twitter, Jay-Z now has a WordPress-powered blog. It's bare right now, but hopefully they really start to stretch WP soon. By the by, Jay, let's grab a bite and talk tech and design. ;) Hat tip: Michael Koenig.
wow, Z-type is extremely addictive.
Great game – just played first 12 rounds and than got bored

Oh I would play, but I need a good browser first apparently?
Have you switched to Dvorak?
I’ve been using Dvorak over a decade now.
Arrgh! Thanks so much for that exercise in frustration
Actually I made it all the way to level ten before getting wiped out. Not bad for an old poke and hope.
Awesome game. You have to write/shoot really fast.
Cool concept, but frustratingly easy. I got to level 75 and then just got up and quit. It needs some type of variable difficulty setting.
Wow – strangely entertaining. I can see how this would be a help to today’s txtng and video game centric youth where it seems that the only way to get them involved in something is if it involves shooting or killing.
wow! simply love it.
Ack, I still need to switch to Dvorak! I’ve been meaning to do it since you did….
YAY! Totally awesome find Matty
I tried Dvorak for a while a couple years ago and was just thinking about giving it another shot.
