Screaming Bean
Tuesday, October 07, 2003

I've been approached by a number of students who ask me how you learn to type well. I've noticed that lawyers on the whole are not good typists. A good percentage use ye olde hunt-and-peck, or some variant thereof. I learned to type in 7th grade. I also used to MUD (wow, time warp...I'm sure there are people reading this who have no idea what a MUD is...but that's another post). I also was a secretary and paralegal. As a result I clock in at about 80 words a minute these days. Trying to explain to people how to learn to type is like explaining how to speed read. You can take a class, but the most important part is practice. Three Years of Hell posted a website that can actually be referred to as practice. How can you not like a website that allows you to kill zombies by typing like a fiend? If you're not up for the gore, try out Typer Shark, a fun game that lets you zap sharks by also typing like a fiend. It's a great time killer.

Update: That's what I get for giving the website for the zombie demo without seeing if you could download it there. Seems it's busted. However, there are other mirror sites, one of which is here.
