Awesome keyboard stickers from Chris Delorenzo. Though I fear I'd have to do a lot of thinking everytime I type something. Lets see. D is devil, A is for airplaine, V vampire, I is for ice cream, and D is for devil. Whew, that's a lot of work just to spell my name. I guess if I had paid better attention in typing class I wouldn't have to look at the keys when I type.
