But it might not be a bad idea to follow-up, just out of the curiosity factor alone... :) For those of you on the east side, so to speak, your contest isn't til April 21. Perhaps the person Rob knows should try out? Newbie, what about you? You're in DC, so you definitely qualify for the East Coast competition. Virginia, I have absolutely no idea.

WERE there any Deafies involved? Who won, and was the winner determined? I'm really curious to learn exactly what this contest involved. Ohhhh well, I suppose I could Google it.... Curious, David…

I don't think I'd win this contest, but I often get interrupted while typing on the metro with comments about how fast I type- I'm sure other deaf people get it as well. Thats hilarious!

He also does this while walking and traversing DC's busy streets during rush hour - and while looking straight ahead!

Have to resort to typing with one finger at a time. Some deafies, I know, even though use pagers quite often, aren’t able to be “thumb warriors” simply because of their large hands!
