Does a Dvorak layout help ASCII art creation?  I use the standard QWERTY 
keyboard on all computers I work on.  While I've never seen a Dvorak 
keyboard, what advantages do they have to the ASCII artist?

About the domain names, .com and .org seem to be your only choices.... if 
you ever plan to sell something on your domain name for profit, go with 
.com, but if you aren't, go with .org.  There's really a fine line there, 
but I'd go with .com because it leaves room for the future :-)
