Hasta La Ideas

Apple’s design chief, Jonathan Ive, was honored at the Royal College of Art’s “Innovation Night” on Tuesday, where he took to the stage. The event was closed to the public and much of the media, but geek.com has provided an account of Ive’s talk–as reverse-engineered from Mozilla consultant Pascal Finette’s Twittering of the event! Oh, the times we live in.

Here’s a rather interesting excerpt:

Ive: My drawing skills are terrible… and I’m a lousy presenter. So I focus on designing instead. 🙂

Not sure if the smiley icon is Finette’s addition, or if it’s meant to represent Ive smiling after his statement. What is the Twitter transcription protocol? 🙂
