The worst thing I can say about John Rhodes is that the writing coming from his usability blog has been alarmingly infrequent in the last couple of years. 13 posts in the last 12 months just doesn’t really cut it! Thankfully, the reason for his blogging silence is pretty straightforward: he’s been writing a book. Sweet!
