Some time ago I've created a planet of all design, usability and accessibility blogs at Sun. That makes it easy to check and subscribe what's going on in this area. Now it was a snap to add Oracle's Usable Apps and Luke Kowalski's Blog as well.

Sun & Oracle User Experience Design

enjoy

1. Keep it simple.
2. But not simpler.
3. Keep scalability in mind.
4. End users are not dumb.
5. Sysadmins are human beings, too.

this blog will be revived because I have decided to join Sun's Desktop Virtualization team in Hamburg. As an User Experience Architect I will collect user requirements in this area and design a system for companies who want to replace their PCs with thin clients -- like eg. Sun Ray -- and use the computational power of the server room. You can argue that the desktop is virtual anyway - at least I like to argue that way. The desktop is a collection of metaphors, more or less consistent since the 1980s. To that extent the current development should be better called "remote desktop" -- but sooner or later both "remote" and "virtual" will become obsolete concepts for the end user.

Until then, best
Matthias
