An alternate keyboard layout which allows for super fast typing.

Or you could go old school and choose:

Remington

My cat has earned new names that are monitor related, like:

You make a better door than a window.
Will you please move it?!
Move!
How many times must I tell you that this spot is not a cat bed?
Move it, goddamn it!
Dammit cat! Move it.
