I can switch eye dominance… in fact that is the mental gear change I was referring to when I switch hands… I just have to sort of change how I look at things before I continue the work. When shooting photos I look with my left eye through the viewfinder nowadays, mostly becasue that is the better of the two. I do a lot of shooting without looking though… arms-length stuff. Throwing… always been better with my right. Batting & shooting with a hockey stick I can do either, but my left is WAY better.

The total ambidextrous is fascinating, but adding in the R-to-L writing makes me suspect terrorism is involved…

One question I have is – are you R-eye or L-eye dominant when shooting photos? Or can you go either way with that too? What about ball throwing? And batting?

I have horrible penmanship. You should see my signature. You can almost make out the letters jsht.

that bit about the teacher sounds just like me … I taught myself to join the letters early on but again the teachers told me to print and my writing seemed to go bad from them… hopeless now with a pen…

the Newtons sound like quite the pda once the early issues were sorted – I never got near one unfortunately.

Yeah… everything is backwards… reads right->left… mirror writing. If I get a sec at work I’ll write something and scan it for you so you can see for your self. My handwriting sucks in either direction though. My teachers hated dealing with my essays and such in school. In Junior High one of my teachers INSISTED that I start printing everything so she could read it easier. I have forgotten now how to write in cursive script!

Of course now I type everything, so it has become even worse.

Ironically it was getting better when I was using a Newton in the late 90s, but really went to hell when I switched to a Palm Pilot after the Newton died… go figure.
