Hey Drook...
You don't appear to have a category called 'Bacon' on your blog. :-D I thought that a bit surprising, given your affinity for bacon and bacon grease.
The reason I point this out, of course, is to respond to your frequent mantra "bacon makes everything better". Whilst I like bacon, I don't think I like that much. Instead, I would say that "butter makes everything better" with onion a close second.

That brings an idea to mind...
You could create a "Bacon" section as static-san suggested, and write a piece on how "Bacon Makes Everything Better"......And follow that up with a guest series on their own "XXX Makes Everything Better."

Improves your one handed typing skills?
Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

I've seen things like that before
Interesting idea, but I'm not giving up my regular keyboard any time soon.

That one's not bad.
It takes some persistence to learn, though, but it's not quite as hard as learning a Dvorak keyboard. Most other chording keyboards have reputations for taking a long time to learn. Yes, I have one. It's also a big head-shift to switch away from keyboard shortcuts and use the mouse more.
But the main problem is that the timeout for chording is a bit long, which means it produces some unique typos (if you type E Space too fast, you get Z because Z is E+Space). The other catch is that the main layout is for a right-hand... but what about mousing? That's why I bought a left-handed one: then my right hand stays on the mouse.

Helps with manual dexterity
You ever try to chop some celery while coated with Platinum Silicone Lube?

Not easy. Takes practice. But once you can do it while lubed, you have a world of small toys awaiting you.

You could add this to the web page...
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."

Well.. if you trade-in that walker
for one of your fav Detroit 500 HP lead barges, you could make a quick trip to the Fountain, get your loins re-girded ... then blast on over to Bacon City. Eh?
