I have had an inspiring week. Last night I went to a talk by Jonathan Ive from Apple (designer of the MacBook, iMac, i-Pod and i-phone). I was struck by how thoughtful and considered he was, in answering questions, and in how he explained his method of designing things. He was also incredibly humble, especially given his many achievements.

During his discussion he said how it is easy to do “new and different” things, but hard to do “genuinely better” – what a wise fella and all-round hero!
