John Maeda @ TED

Got this clip from TED if you have'nt come across this site before you really need to check it out."TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds." Amazing video streamed lectures.

The clip below is of John Maeda - Talking about simplicity
The MIT Media Lab's John Maeda lives at the intersection of technology and art -- a place that can get very complicated. Here, he talks about paring down to basics, and how he creates clean, elegant art, websites and web tools. In his book Laws of Simplicity, he offers 10 rules and 3 keys for simple living and working -- but in this talk, he boils it down to one simply delightful way to be.
