David is surprisingly humble for a six years young. When praised about the quality of his artwork and ingenuity of the intervention, he replied that it was "easy" and that it only took him "about an hour" to complete. His work is so much better than the ads it replaced because it is honest and aimed at beautifying the environment, which directly translates into something of value for bystanders like me. Plus, supermodels are so 90's anyway.

Seth Godin's The Dip ends with an acknowledgment that illustrates what seems to me is a global trend towards simplicity: "This book is really short. Short books are hard to write, but you made me do it. My readers are excellent correspondents, and this is something I've learned from them along the way: Write less."
MIT's John Maeda shared his views on simplicity in the shape of tens laws of which there is one that is actually THE ONE: "Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful."
This video illustrates a short article about pecha-kucha, a new form of presentation that is "both art form and competitive sport" while contributing with the bigger simplicity push in an otherwise unnecessarily-complex realm: Power Point.
