Feb 28 2008USB Speedometer Measures Typing Speed
This $40 marvel of modern technology is a USB speedometer that measures your WPM. And not only that, it keeps a running total of how many words you've typed so far for the day. As you can see there in the picture the device tops out at a whopping 260 WPM, which is a staggering pace. Now I'm not saying I could type that fast, but I can. Well, if falling asleep with your head on the keyboard counts. Which to me it does. So somebody notify the Guinness people -- I want my name in the book and a plaque damnit.

I would definitely buy that if I could type properly, as in not looking at the keys and proper fingering (if that's what it's called)

That's the most asinine thing I've seen in a while.

Are people actually funding these projects? If so I have this great idea for a USB powered cheese slicer. Call me.

If it were considerably less than $40, I might consider buying one for shits and giggles.
