+# Colemak Layout - Beginning
+
+I write a lot. On average I write a few kilobytes of text per day. This has been
+adding up and is taking a huge toll on my hands, especially considering the
+Covid situation. Something needs to change. I've been working on learning a new
+keyboard layout: [Colemak](https://colemak.com).
+
+This post will be shorter than most of my posts because I'm writing it with
+Colemak enabled on my iPad. Writing this is painfully slow at the moment. My
+sentences are short and choppy because those are easier to type. 
+
+I also have a [ZSA Moonlander](https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/) on the way, it
+should be here in October or November. I will also be sure to write about that
+once I get it in the mail.
+
+So far, I have about 30 words per minute on the homerow, but once I go off the
+homerow the speed tanks to less than about five.
+
+However, I am making progress!
+
+Be well all, don't stress your hands out.
