As you can see, I'm still having trouble maintaining my blog but my intentions are good.

Typing Trivia
4/2/2009 7:10:36 AM

The words ‘’stewardesses” and “reverberated” are the longest words typed with only the left hand. 

The longest words that can be typed using only the right hand in proper typing form are ”lollipop” and “monopoly”. 

The only ten-letter word that you can spell with the top row of letters is “typewriter.” 

“Skepticisms” is the longest word that alternates hands when typing. 

No words can be made from the bottom row, due to lack of vowels. 

The longest word that can be typed without a true vowel is "rhythm." 

The longest word that can be made without typing the same letter twice is "uncopyrightable.” (Yes, it is a word meaning “ineligible for copyright.”) 

A personal observation.

I guess I'm not too good at blogging. I'll need to add some content. Stay tuned...

Happy new year.

As someone once told me: "The years are like plane crashes. Any one you can walk away from is a good one." I hope the next year is better than the last one. I believe our new president will help the American people unite in a way that is critical for facing the challenges ahead. Let's hope so. In the mean time I guess we have to keep up the struggle.

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Now to finish shoveling the roof off.

Swinger follow up

The Royal Swinger has been sold to Stephen King's son who is planning on giving it to his father. I think it's a fine gift since it combines two of Stephen King's main interests, writing and music. In case you didn't realize it, Stephen King is in the rock and roll group The Rockbottom Remainders along with fellow writers Dave Barry, Amy Tan, Matt Groening, Scott Turow, Roy Blount Jr., and Ridley Pearson. Their motto is "Three chords and an attitude."

Here is a closeup of the label inside proudly proclaiming that it is capable of receiving the entire AM band. The radio works fine. I guess it was the forerunner of the boom boxes of the 70s and 80s.
