I like the physicality of the English language - words always reminds me of actions. And it's not just onomatopoeic words like 'slurp'. "Twat", for example, makes me think of a clip behind the ears:
"Shit! I've just dropped your coffee!"
"[clip behind the ear]"

Working on a Mac is great‡, except for needing the mouse all the time. Can't believe pulldown menus etc are still not tabbable. Anyway.

I've been toying (in my head so far) with the idea of playing with single hand keyboards or simlar input device. That way, I wouldn't spend so much time moving my forearm back and forth between keyboard and mouse / trackpad.

‡ remember to mention reservations about the evil Apple corporation somewhere

It's not the lack of sleep. Nor getting up in the middle of the night to change nappies brimming with waste matter. Not even the changes in social life.

Watched Style Wars last night. It is a 1983 documentary about the graffiti scene in NY, and it's very good.
