Nay a nordic nerd nor a nemesis to the novus-ordum; I merely am a noble nexus to a nomadic nous;
and I nominate no claim to be normal, neither notably nonpareil.
Nevertheless, notwithstanding the noxious nod of the nocturnal noir, my notions shall remain nubile;
and you can call me "N".

About the Metro design language
Metro is the new user-interface paradigm pioneered by Microsoft first in it’s Zune range of media-players, and now being rolled out across it’s range of platforms, viz. Windows Phone, XBox, and Windows 8. Metro rethinks the traditional UI based on icons and windows, and simplifies it to a highly minimalistic UI characterized by bold colours, prominent lines and large, striking typography. Is Metro really the revolution it stands to be? Or is it rather a mere UI redesign that will have to be rethought a couple of years from now?
