Did you know the QWERTY typewriter, and the typewriter itself were invented by a Milwaukee resident, Christopher Latham Sholes? Unfortunately he sold his share for only $12,000 to Remington, while his partner James Densmore insisted on royalties and made $1.5 million.
Since the o and the 0 keys were just one key might be why a lot of people say "Oh" for "zero".
It's amazing how many variants of the keyboard there are. I've never use any of them, but it would be interesting to try ones like the Maltron.
What is the most widely used character in English. The Space.

Don't be so proud
That droid you called a near-sighted scrap pile,
just delivered the Death Star plans to the rebellion.
That smuggler you called a scruffy looking nerfherder,
is marrying the Princess of Alderaan.
That protocol droid you called a mindless philosopher,
is fluent in over six million forms of communication.
That hermit you called, "just a crazy old man,"
was once a general in the Clone Wars.
That wookie you just called a walking carpet,
just received a lifetime achievement award.
That crop-dusting farmboy you call wormie,
just destroyed the Death Star with a proton torpedo.
That technological terror you've constructed,
is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

Page Navigator
Having worked on a few gallery metaphors, page navigation, here is one that combines them all... I expecially like the jump to end track button like a DVD player.
Click on the picture in the middle to get to the NYT Navigator. (This link might change or go away, not sure if it's a true PURL.)
The gallery jump at the bottom grows/shrinks as you hover, there are other navigational tools like for/rev +1/-1, also for end/rev beg. Grid view is a little awkward for a large number of pages - Mac finger scrolling not working here. Email, print, buttons.

Jackson Util Polymorphism Problem
Here's a forum post about the problem. I'll take a look at the jackson code this weekend, maybe I can contribute a fix. It seems it is just the way in which the class to descriptor relationship is looked up that is the problem.
