I just sandpapered the letters off my keyboard, in an effort to improve my touch typing. Results are promising so far. I still find myself peeking at the keys, but since they are nicely blank, I blush and go back to grimly staring at the screen. In addition, this is a good excuse to play Tux Type 2.
