アップルのATG副社長も務めたことがある認知科学の世界的権威、ドン・ノーマン博士

その彼をアップル時代以来、久々（おそらく８年ぶり）にインタビューする機会を得た

インタビューは現在、発売中のインプレス社のdesktopという雑誌にて６ページにわたって掲載されている。

　以前からやりたくてもなかなか実現できなかった原文との同時掲載、つまりバイリンガルの記事だ。テーマはまもなく米国で発売される同氏の新著、emotional designと今日のパソコンデザインについて。

Dr. Donald A. Norman is a well-known cognitive scientist;. I have interviewed him once in the mid-'90s for MACPOWER magazine. But I got the opportunity to interview him again, this time for a new quarterly publication by Impress Corp. called the "desktop"; a magazine designed to re-think about our desktops. I will be writing more about this magazine in the following entries.

Anyway, Dr. Norman discuused why the PCs today are so ugly as well as his favorite designs which you can now find on his own web page.

The magazine is in Japanese with one exception which happens to be this very interview which is bilingual: English + Japanese.

If you are interested, grab one at your favorite book store and take a peek.
