‘I’ is used far more than ‘U’ so it makes since for me to have I be where U currently is on the Dvorak layout, i.e. right under the left forfinger on the home row.

It took me about a week and a half of using this new layout until I was up to my old speed on the official Dvorak layout. I really like this layout, I move my fingers even less now and type at the same speed!

If you are interested here are the layout files for Mac and PC:

For Mac:

Place this in /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ and then select it in Settings -> International.

Dvorak-ItoU Mac

For PC

Download this file Dvorak-ItoU PC
and open the .exe, it couldn’t be easier.

Props to Code Axe for the inspiration and the tutorial on how to get the custom keyboard working on a PC.

Enjoy!

The Community

• Raw organic food will be the staple of the community.

• The Eco Village will have a strong focus on spirituality with focus on meditation, minimalism, communication, and personal growth.
• There will be a space set aside for meditation.
• Community will be strongly emphasized, as most space/things will be communal.
• The community will own land on the Big Island with abundant fruit trees which is close to town.
• In town there will be a juice bar/raw food cafe connected to the organic farm/eco village. This will help sustain the eco village.
• Connected to the juice bar there will be a community building for yoga, dancing, traditional arts, massage, music, or anything the community wants. The community space will be cooperatively managed by the larger surrounding community.
• Decisions that effect the community will be made democratically in conscious

In sum:

A raw food community that lives on an eco-village organic farm which provides resources for a juice bar/raw food cafe community space on the big Island of Hawaii.

If you would like to be a part of this let me know. I’ll be on the Big Island mid April to start gathering resources.

EDIT: I have started an IdeaBlob about this project.

Why?

• Air quality

The air quality in Hawaii is the top 5 best in the USA, and the world.

• Abundance of fruit

There is an abundance of tropical fruit in Hawaii, which matches my diet as a 811rv.

• Tropical Weather

The average temperature on Kauai is 73F in winter and 80F in the summer.

I have always pictured myself living in the tropics. Humans are always trying to make their living environments match the tropical environment. We dress ourself in very warm clothes when it is cold and turn on the heater, we are always trying to match the temperature around us to the tropical regions of the world. It seems so natural to live in tropical weather where there is no worry about being cold and where fruit (our most natural food) is so abundant.

I might also be moving just for the sake of moving, for the experience of such an undertaking. I graduated college a year ahead of schedule about 9 months ago and have been living in Santa Cruz for a long enough time that I feel like its time to leave. I need to experience what its like to totally be on my own. Maybe moving to Hawaii is like a kind of like a right of passage for me; a quest that is not about the destination but is all about the journey, its a journey inside myself.
