Weblog | I don't like the word blog, it's ugly. Anyway, new content happens here. (Swedish dito)

About me and the site | Twenty-something male who likes text. Obsessed with things such as books, reality, communication, and one or two tv-shows.

Archives | Things written here since... well, 2001. Some of it is good, some is utter shait.

Books | Books read, not books written. So far I've struggled to maintain unpublished.

Photo | I like my camera and it likes me.

Links | Outwards, away, flee.

e-mail | J. Nicklas Andersson

Among the things I hate, the small circle above the å is way up there witha single digit introduction. It’s not like I hate the letter in itself. No, it is far worse than that. Granjon, the Garamond-impersonator, is useless in small sizes in swedish. Just because the circle above the å is too thin. It looks like a mishap with the printing, some dirt on the cylinder which affects where the press will transfer the ink.

Luckily, for now, the Adobe Garamond was good enough to be used. But this is a major setback. Just because one can, the line mustn’t be as thin as possible. It should be usable or else it’s just designed self-masturbation.
