Typing in DVORAK on a regular keyboard yield some amazing looking passwords. Do you think it's a bad idea?

I think it's cute, and therefore a bad idea. You're probably going to defeat any common dictionary-based password cracker...
But "Itsasmallworldafterall" is a lousy password.

So you have to switch from DVORAK to QWERTY to type in passwords then? (I assume you type normally in dvorak)
