The Importance of Thumbnails

I'm typing this painfully slow. It took a good minute just to get the title right, not in terms of meaning, but how the words were spelled. The cause of the difficulty is not too much sun and wind on the beach, nor is there too much glare on the screen. The problem is I cut my thumbsnails too short. In the modern evolutionary battle of the bloggers having the correct length of thumbnail is crutial, something I was not aware of or informed of until it was too late. I'm crippled in the same way that a person who normally types two finger style on a regulation keyboard would be if they had their index fingers wrapped in a ball of gauze. They could still type with another pair of fingers, but you can imagine the learning curve and the lack of production.

I am having to carefully place and press each letter on this Blackberry's keyboard avoiding if at all possible getting the fat bulge of thumbmeat onto any of the surrounding keys. Tain't easy, I'm telling you and I just wish someone out there had warned me.

One the one hand this has been a good experience because I have had to really think about where a sentence is going (corrections take forever), on the other hand (thumb) I fear I may have stumbled on to the kind of error in judgement which leads to species' end.
