Hi. I really don't know how did I ended here. Actually I do: I was interested in Python programming, then I discovered IPython Notebook, which is a great piece of software for "literate computing". Similar things can be done from within Emacs, which was also a great discovery for me. Emacs is awesome, but not so easy to start learning, partly because of the intense use of keybindings. To alleviate that, I installed a package called Ergoemacs-mode, which I like a lot. Xah Lee's Ergoemacs webpage introduced me to the world of Dvorak layout and ergonomic keyboards (I bet Xah is around here). I started to learn Dvorak three weeks ago; at that moment I was typing at 10 wpm (down from 70 in qwerty). Today I'm around 23 wpm. At some point I realized that my arms were aching due to tension (increased by the learning stance) and bad position. After some reading I decided to try an ergonomic keyboard although I live in Argentina, where is difficult to find non standard items and is a complete pain to buy abroad (price more or less duplicate and you're never sure that a costly shipping will arrive). Doing research about keyboards, mechanical switches and keycaps I finally discovered geekhack (and entered a Massdrop group buy for an Ergodox). That's my story. Nice to have found this site, I've already read interesting posts here!
