My thoughts on Maeda (from a journalistic point of view): He is an inspiring man, a brilliant teacher, a far brighter spark than your ordinary Jo, sincere and indeed incredibly simple like the majority of all good mannered social beings we are. Oh, and he's incredibly witty, sharp, with a tinge of measured sarcasm. His humour may not always be clear and that is perhaps a game he plays to defend - Not everything Maeda has to say should be taken as Gospel. An interesting read.

For Maeda to place himself at the head of this column is pompous windbaggery at its finest. Maeda's thoughts on simplicity read like the rantings of an old man waving his symbolic cane at the kids today, but then again I can't approach them rationally in a book where the author takes personal credit for "dynamic graphics".
