February 3rd, 2013Cycling →
January 31st, 2013I never thought of cycling like this, but it totally makes sense.
And I’ve always associated bikes with escaping…
Bikes are self-propelled, but after a point they just seem to take over. That saying, “It’s like riding a bike,” is so pervasive, because bike-riding is in our bones. You can’t forget how to ride a bike, because the act is itself a sort of forgetting. A few pedals, and the world whizzes past in a blur. Cars are like little rooms, big enough to carry multiple passengers and, thus, their own set of problems. Buses are even bigger and compound that effect. But a bike is made for one person, and it seems to move just fast enough that problems can’t catch up.
Switch keyboard layout system-wide →
January 30th, 2013This app is super-useful for switching keyboard layouts on Windows.
Windows’ normal behaviour is for windows to remember what layout you were using. There’s no built in way to switch the layout globally. This is a drag when I usually use Dvorak, but sometimes need to quickly switch to QWERTY for others to use my PC. This tool adds a shortcut to your system tray, so you can switch layouts globally.
