View Article  Extremely Effective Ad - "Do The Test"

I got the count right but missed the point of the thing - watch it and you'll see what I mean.

View Article  Friday Fun Link - Typing Speed Test (March 7, 2008)
It threw me a bit to be typing a random list of common English words rather than the more usual sentences and paragraphs but I did okay on this site's typing test - one of many available online. 

When I've done other typing tests, both online and in the real world, I get anywhere from 60-90wpm depending on the day, my mood, etc. etc. 

Here's what I got with my first try on this site...

[Edit: I think "real" typing tests have a formula - every mistake counts against your final total and every five keystrokes is a "word".  So if you have 82 words per minute but 4 mistakes, you are 78 wpm - which is what I would've got if I used this methodology.  And I'm not sure if they're using the "5 keys = 1 word" rule either.  But anyhow, it's good to know that you can just bang away, get 150 mistakes but be told that you type 150 wpm!  And make sure you put that on your resume! ]

(via Ceci N'est Pas Un Blog - Emily wasn't sure how she felt about getting that same "high school" rating for her blog.  I'm just happy I didn't get "remedial junior high" )
My web site dedicated to four great Canadian singer-songwriters (but currently only featuring guitar tab for two of them - Fred Eaglesmith and Hawksley Workman.)
