He was walking around the centre of London. Guess who he was.

Clue: He has very observing eyes and a flair for design.

Must be a minor god as he is a god and not He is a God.

I'd wager on Ives.

You wager correctly! I saw him in the Burlington Arcade off Piccadilly. He was eyeing up old fashioned products in the windows and made me wonder if the next iPod would be Victorian styled. You can clearly see in his eyes the way he takes in the design of products and the architecture around him.

I'm not aware aware of of any famous designers named Ives
"Altruism is killing America. We who want to save America must repudiate this killer, root and branch. We must understand and explain to others that the acceptance of altruism necessitates the violation of individual rights... and that the arguments for altruism are baseless..."

FWIW his name is Jonathan Ive, not Ives.

If he cloned himself and they were both there, you could call them Ives.

I was trying to quote you without typing anything, because I was going to say exactly the same thing. I couldn't (board requires you to post at least three characters) so I found a blank image and put that instead.

"That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!" *wheeze*
