Typing Speed

Steve Yegge had an interesting post the other day about programmers who do not know how to type. This reminded me of a site that I had checked out a while ago that I found to be pretty good for teaching people how to touch type (I had known how to touch type before but wanted to play around after getting an ultimate das keyboard).

Yegge mentioned that he had a friend who could touch type with one hand at 70 words-per-minute (WPM). I tested myself and it looks like I max out at 66 which is kind of pathetic against a guy using one hand. Yegge himself mentioned that he does about 120. Looks like I have a little practice ahead of me!
