So a few days ago I started typing in Dvorak again. I had tried about a year ago but gave up because it was too hard and I didn’t have the patience. Now I am giving it my all and using it all the time to force it into my brain. I find the ‘the’ very handy, and the ‘f’ particularly challenging.

When I first moved to Ottawa, everything was new and I wanted to experience it all.  Now I’ve seen most everything that I want to, and I’ve grown quite comfortable.  But I need continuous variety and newness or else I will grow demotivated and disengaged.  Do you find you need this or do you function best in an environment that you already are familiar with?
