It’s not you, dear reader. It’s me. I guess I’m just not the blogging type. I simply like coding much more. Creating websites and such. Interesting client projects with juicy UX and infoarchitecture problems.

Paul Miller has some advice for user interface designers: Don’t be condescending. “The Ribbon in Microsoft Office products,” complains Miller, “is constantly talking down to me, assuming I don’t know how to use a menu, a key command, or an honest-to-goodness toolbar.”

Miller’s got some harsh words for Apple, too: “And of course, there is the transgression of the century: Apple’s downward spiral into overt 1:1 metaphors. The physical bookshelf, the leather desk calendar (complete with a torn page), the false-paginated address book… these new tricks are horrible and offensive.”

It seems that during a recent system upgrade something went awfully wrong. Thanks to Mr. Ferreira, everything should now be fixed and up and running.

If you want to test how it renders, Nokia is already using the new font on their blog.

For me, the next step is to try it on my trusted N900…
