Is it just too easy typing out 140 characters to fill up your Twitter account? Then maybe you should try slowing down the process by morse coding your way across the micro blogging platform. You can find schematics for your own Tworsekey at the link.

Morse Code used to be used (and to some extent still is) during war time to communicate in the field, in the air and to report that the Titanic was sinking. It used to be a highly specialized technical skill that took lots of training. Now however you can let everyone know the Germans are coming by typing your message into this handy text to Morse Code translator. Link
Oh, did you think Morse code was obsolete and had no use in the modern world? Here are six ways the code is still used -although most of these gadgets were designed specifically for geeks who know Morse code to show off their knowledge. I would be impressed! Shown is a Morse code leather arm guard, a steampunk creation by Etsy seller ProfMaelstromme. Link -Thanks, David!
The Grant Building, one of the downtown skyscrapers in Pittsburgh has an aviation beacon that instead of flashing at regular intervals, was set up to flash in Morse code the letters that spell "Pittsburgh".
This year, Tom Stepleton, a recreational pilot familiar with Morse code noticed that the letters transmitted by the beacon spelled… "PITETSBKRRH."
The one-minute video clip above shows the sequence. The city has tried to fix the problem, but after the first attempt, the beacon is now flashing … "TPEBTSAURGH."
